Battlefields Trip
Over two days in mid March, fifty Removes pupils travelled to the Ypres region in Belgium and around the Somme River in France. The trip was packed with educational value, experiences of a lifetime, and observations to bring the classroom to life. Our pupils had the opportunity to learn so much at every stop. The icing on the cake for Mr Andrew Long was to find out about his relative on the Menin Gate and learn more about how he came to be there. The Guides were excellent; their passion, research and well-judged delivery was brilliant. Thanks to Mr Ian Goddard, Mr Rob
Richardson, Mr Andrew Long, Mrs Teresa Kwiecinska and Miss Jordan Castle, who all played a part in making this well organised and valuable trip a fantastic experience for the pupils.
