  • DofE Trip

    Published 02/05/23

    At the beginning of the Easter holiday, the Silver and Gold DofE groups travelled to the Peak District to embark on their practice expeditions. 

    It was a challenging weekend for all the groups, with wet and very cold weather along with difficult terrain to navigate across. Despite this, the groups displayed excellent teamwork skills, improved upon their map reading and camp craft skills. 

    Mrs Brooke and Miss Evans were very proud of the girls for coping so well in challenging conditions. We wish the girls the best of luck for their qualifying expeditions in July.

  • Italy Food Trip

    Published 02/05/23

    "Sparkling Sorrento

    Thirty six students from Years 8 and 9 spent five days of the Easter break with Mrs Whalley, Mrs Haresign, Mrs Penney and Mrs Rai sampling the delights of Italian culinary specialities on a visit to Sorrento. Artisan gelato, olive oil (in dozens of varieties), making dough at a traditional pizzeria restaurant, fresh mozzarella and ricotta cheeses and air-dried salami on sourdough bread were all on offer as they walked in fruit groves dripping with lemons and oranges. Tarantella dancing turned out to be a lot of fun and involved much napkin waving and shouting! There was plenty of time to browse the shops for gifts and souvenirs and to admire the scenery of this lovely area including the view of Mt. Vesuvius rising above the city of Napoli. An excursion to the volcano saw everyone climb to the crater rim to gaze down into the gently smoking hole and wonder when it would next erupt, together with a visit to the remains of Roman Herculaneum, several miles away, buried by lava and ash in AD79 and still being rediscovered by archaeologists now. There was just time for a paddle in the Mediterranean before heading back to the airport and to Leicester, tired but happy and all having learned a lot."
