OXFORD

The week beginning Monday July 10th saw 8 trips take place in 3 days

Half of Year 9 visited the academically renowned Oxford University, including the Bodleian Libraries and a college tour, courtesy of OVs currently studying at Oxford: Sandeep Berdesha (Chemistry, St John’s), Alistair Kitchin (PPE, ChristChurch) and Blessing Sowunmi (History, Wadham). The other half of Year 9 visited two fascinating Oxford museums: the Natural History Museum and the Pitt Rivers Museum. For those who like their Vesey facts, it is good to know that the current Curator of World Archaeology at Pitt Rivers is an Old Veseyan, Professor Dan Hicks FSA, MClfA!

Meanwhile, Year 8 enjoyed a trip to Twycross Zoo and a day of science fun at Millennium Point. Year 7 also had excellent trips to Bosworth Field, where they were schooled in the military arts of 1485, and the National Space Museum in Leicester.

Thank you to all the staff who led and supported some really excellent educational visits.
