Year 9 Trip Day

As part of our exciting Above & Beyond Month, Year 9 students enjoyed a memorable Trip Day on Thursday 4th July, 2024. With three destinations, the day was filled with learning, creativity, and inspiration. 

One group, led by Mr. Tibbey, visited RAF Hendon, where they delved into the history of World War II through a hands-on workshop. Students explored aircraft, artefacts, and interactive exhibits, gaining a deeper understanding of the pivotal events and innovations of the era. 

Another group headed out with Mr. Joseph to Cadbury's World. Here, students participated in a fascinating food and design & technology workshop. They learned about the intricate processes behind chocolate production and the innovative business strategies that have made Cadbury's a household name. After this, students got a chance to explore the Cadbury’s museum. Mr Joseph was happy to report that the trip was a huge success with students thoroughly enjoying the day. He said a highlight was each and every person who attended the trip receiving several free bars of chocolate to take-away with them!

The final group, led by Mr. Randall, enjoyed a cultural outing to Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. They watched a captivating matinee performance of ‘The Secret Garden’, experiencing the magic of theatre in a beautiful outdoor setting. Before the performance, students also got to enjoy a picnic lunch outside in the sunshine. Rebecca, Year 9, said: “It was a lovely play and I really enjoyed the way they brought the garden to life!”

This enriching Trip Day exemplified the spirit of Above & Beyond Month, offering our Year 9 students diverse experiences that broadened their horizons. Thank you to all of the staff who supported the trips.
