Senior 8 and 9 Trip to Les Deux Alpes

Our Senior 8 and 9 pupils had a fantastic time skiing in Les Deux Alpes during the Easter holidays. Pupils made

remarkable progress in their skiing and built confidence as they found their ski legs. The fun continued off the slopes with activities including laser tag, bowling, board games, pool, table tennis and plenty of laughter. A wonderful few days filled with fresh mountain air, making memories, learning new skills and building snowmen!

Our Senior 10 historians travelled to theWWI battlefields of Ypres and the Somme as part of their GCSE History studies. Pupils walked the trenches at Hill 62, honoured the fallen at Thiepval, stood in awe at Lochnagar Crater, and reflected at Tyne Cot Cemetery. Dr. Cairns also paid tribute to poet Edward Thomas in Arras. Guides also provided insightful stories about inspiring individuals and battalions during what was a thought-provoking trip.

Senior 9 and 10 Trip to Rouen

Senior 9 and 10 pupils enjoyed a wonderful trip to Rouen during the May Half Term. Staying with host families gave them the opportunity to hone their conversation skills around the dinner table, and language lessons every morning further improved their linguistic abilities. In the afternoons, pupils had a guided tour of Rouen's fine art museum, including many iconic Monet paintings of Rouen's beautiful cathedral, undertook a photography competition with scavenger hunt elements, learnt about the life of Joan of Arc (famously put to death in Rouen) and visited a confectionary factory where they made typical (and delicious!) Rouennais specialities.
