He ad o f S e c on d ary Me s s a g e It has been an incredibly exciting time for all of our students over the past month, culminating in our very first Trips and Activities week. We were delighted with the level of participation from the pupils who were able to take part in a whole host of activities and educational visits. In addition to the Year 9 trip to France, the senior school Ski trip and the Year 10 Work experience, the pupils who stayed with us in school were also able to take advantage of some exciting opportunities. All agreed that the pupils were able to derive a great deal of educational benefit from taking part in the
week’s events. In particular, they had the opportunity to undergo experiences not available in the classroom. The visits helped to develop pupil´s investigative skills and the longer visits, in particular, encouraged greater independence. I´m sure you´ll agree when you see the photos inside that this will be a week that will live long in the memories of all who participated.
