Belgium and France

A poignant journey to the WW1 battlefields of Belgium and France. Highlights included visits to the Menin Gate for the Last Post ceremony, the In Flanders Fields Museum, and the solemn Tyne Cot and Langemark cemeteries. Guided by a history expert, the group explored sites like Essex Farm Cemetery and Sanctuary Wood, delving into the stories of courage and sacrifice that shaped our world.

Boulogne 

A group of GCSE French pupils explored the beautiful coastal city of Boulogne. From improving their language skills to experiencing French culture first-hand, it was an unforgettable trip.
