Like the British Expeditionary Force in 1914, we have arrived in France and are en route to the Battlefields. Our year 9 historians have been amazing

First stop of the day at Essex Wood, visiting the grave of the youngest known soldier to die in WWI at age 15. And where John McCrae penned his iconic “in Flanders’s field”

Busy busy afternoon continues, with a visit to two trench systems. One at memorial museum passchendaele and the other act sanctuary woods. Safe to say our historians found both fascinating

A very poignant visit to Tyne Cot, nothing quite captures the scale of WWI than row upon row of pristine white gravestones

A brilliant first day capped of with our pupils doing us proud and representing us nobly at the nightly Menin Gate ceremony in Ypres #camsandproud

It’s been another busy morning on #battlefields23 After a mouth drooling stop at a Belgium chocolate shop, it was off to France for a visit to Vimy Ridge, following by a visit to the Somme. One more stop before our homewards journey

Footage from last nights Menin Gate Ceremony. Cams pupils from around the 6:40 onwards

Pretty much packed and ready. Only 27 hours to go until our finest Y10 Historians fly to #Berlin! I'll be posting photos along the way🇩🇪

Just under 3 hours to go! Berlin here we come 🇩🇪

Left school and en route to the airport! #Berlin2023

It's time for Miss Emery's favourite breakfast! #brot #Berlin2023

#Berlin2023

A fantastic day: Wannsee, Sachsenhausen, Hard Rock Cafe and the Reichstag with the BEST pupils we could ask for. We couldn't be prouder of our little historians ❤️ #Berlin2023

And we of course can't forget all the sweaty S-Bahn and Tram journeys!

On the coach back to school after the best trip. A walking tour of Berlin today at the Reichstag, Memorial to the Murdered Jews, Bunker site and Brandenburg Gate. Sad it's over but so pleased they've had a great time 🇩🇪
