Year 11 Trip to University of Cambridge

/

A huge well done to our fantastic group of Year 11 pupils who were an absolute credit to the school on our recent trip to the University of Cambridge.

Pupils had the opportunity to explore the stunning campus, taking in the rich history and inspiring surroundings of one of the world’s top universities. Either side of a hot lunch in the beautiful Robinson College dining hall, they attended talks with two recent Cambridge graduates. These sessions provided invaluable advice on preparing for interviews, exploring super-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities and what to expect from university life. Pupils also gained tailored guidance on activities and experiences that would strengthen their applications for courses they were interested in.

Year 11 History trip to Berlin

/

Dominic C, Year 11 reports: “We flew into Berlin, for a four-day trip, on Friday 17th January. That afternoon, we got the chance to go into the dome of the Reichstag and to see the Brandenburg Gate. After that, we saw the Holocaust Memorial. The next day (my favourite day), we saw a remnant of the Berlin Wall, we toured a Stasi (secret East German police) prison and visited the Topography of Terror, about Nazi violence towards minorities. We also ate currywurst that day! On Sunday, we got to visit a concentration camp where mainly political prisoners were held. We also got to shop at a local market. For the final day, we visited a museum about life in East Germany before flying home that evening.”
