our Values ... by Toby Spence
Junior School travels to France
Forty-four children from Years 3 to 6 travelled via Eurotunnel to France to spend three nights staying at the Chateau d’Ebblinghem in Saint Omer.
would hope that it will further embolden our own community to speak up for what they believe in.
Our students have once again excelled themselves with their endeavours as you will read within our latest newsletter. As a school which prides itself on the talents of each individual you will see many of those talents very clearly within this publication.
As a community we have had quite a term – not least with a major power failure, a mini- drought caused by a leaking water main and plenty of snow and ice to contend with. A particular note of thanks to our hard-working team of Associate Staff who have kept us going through thick and thin – allowing our students to thrive in what they do best.
I wish one and all a peaceful and relaxing Easter break!

The purpose of the visit was to help them put their spoken French into practice, experience French culture, learn about a different country and develop independence through being away from home. The packed itinerary saw them visiting the Commonwealth war
cemetery in Ebblingham; taking a tour of the walled city of Montreuil- sur-Mer; and enjoying the museum of Azincourt and the marine centre. They also spent a lot of time studying French food ... visiting a chocolate factory, a boulangerie and a snail farm ... samples were tasted in all three venues!

Year 9 visited Bletchley Park as part of a joint Mathematics and History trip.
Pupils took part in a
codebreaking lesson … using an actual Enigma machine, one of only around 50 that remain in the world. They were also shown a working model of a Bombe machine, which was in essence the forerunner to the first ever computer.
