SCHOOL TRIPS: Students take to the Italian slopes

MORE than 50 Year 9 and 10 students enjoyed a week's skiing in Folgarida, Italy in sunny weather with excellent snow conditions. In addition to picking up new skills on the slopes, they enjoyed a wide range of fun activities, including pop quizzes and singing and dancing competitions. Thank you to all the staff - Dr Grime, Mrs Gallagher, Mr Cocks, Mr Cornish, Miss Green and Mrs Rickard - who gave up their half term to ensure students could enjoy such a wonderful experience.

Dr Grime said: "The students were tremendous in every respect with superb behaviour, manners, attitude, attentiveness, supportiveness and time-keeping. They were an absolute pleasure to be with throughout and staff are extremely proud of them."
