Forty-five students in years 10 and 11 went on a four-day trip to Paris where they enjoyed exploring the areas around Musée Rodin, Monmartre and Montparnasse. They also went on a Bateaux Mouches river cruise and took in the sights of the French capital. Lasting memories will be of visiting the illuminated Louvre building and watching the dazzling lights displayed on the Eiffel Tower. Their final day was spent at Disneyland Paris, where the students got to try the rides, meet the Disney characters, and watch the spectacular fireworks display.

‘The trip to Paris was an amazing experience. There was so much to see and we got to do so many amazing activities such as Disneyland Paris and a river tour to see France’s greatest landmarks. There were so many amazing and beautiful memories made on the trip such as watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle and going up a huge tower to see Paris from above. Thank you for the most amazing opportunity to see Paris and thank you to all the amazing members of staff for making a dream come true.’ Louise

‘The trip to Paris was really fun, I enjoyed spending time with my friends and making new ones. Even though the travel was long, it was worth it. On the first day we looked around Paris and went on a boat trip and sight-seeing tour. We then went for dinner and had a 3-course meal, the starter was a slice of pizza and salad, the main course was noodles and beef, and for dessert we had mousse. Afterwards we went back to the hotel to get some rest. The next day we woke up early and went to Disneyland and it was really fun. We all got some great photos and we stayed there to see the castle’s fireworks.’ Ava

‘There were a lot of amazing sights and experiences throughout the trip. It was very exciting and packed with breath-taking views that were well worth seeing. I would go again if I had the chance. The food was on point and we had a wide variety of cuisine. Even if you had allergies or a reason for not wanting to eat that dish, they took the time and care to adapt your meal so it suited you.’ Max

‘I really enjoyed going to Paris and seeing the Eiffel tower and my favourite part of the trip was going with my friends to Disney as the rides were really scary and fun!’ Greta
