French Visit to Normandy

28 Apr 2025

At the start of the Easter break, pupils and staff enjoyed a residential trip to Normandy. This has been a very successful trip in previous years and this year has been no exception!The group started their trip by catching a very early coach which took them to the port where they embarked on crossing The Channel via a ferry trip. Their accommodation, The Chateau, was very impressive. From here they took part in many different activities including exploring the grounds and surrounding woodland, archery, fencing, baking, campfires, games and more.
