The week before the spring break, our Grade 10 students took part in an enriching educational trip to Kraków, Poland 🇵🇱, where they explored the city’s rich history and culture and developed a deeper understanding of the Holocaust.
Day 1 began with an early departure and arrival in Kraków, followed by a walking tour of the city centre. Students explored the main square, Wawel Royal Castle, and the Jewish Quarter, learning about the city’s layered history. A particularly powerful moment was the visit to the Ghetto Heroes Square and the “70 Chairs” memorial, each chair symbolising a life lost and offering a poignant reflection on absence, memory, and history.
Day 2 was spent at Auschwitz I and Auschwitz-Birkenau, where students engaged with guided tours of the former camps. Exhibits, personal belongings, and preserved spaces provided a deeply impactful insight into the realities of the Holocaust. Walking through the barracks, crematoria remains, and memorial sites gave students a powerful opportunity to reflect on the scale, planning, and human impact of these events. The day concluded with time in Kraków’s old town for reflection and processing of the experience.

Our Grade 11 Geography students recently travelled to North Wales to complete their IA fieldwork, investigating the longitudinal profile of a river 🌊
Throughout the trip, students demonstrated excellent teamwork, collaboration, and commitment while collecting data that will now form the basis of their Internal Assessments.
A fantastic and productive experience enjoyed by all involved!

Our Grade 9 students recently returned from an unforgettable educational trip to Bosnia 🇧🇦,
Day 1 began with a walking tour of Mostar, exploring the city’s rich culture and history. On Day 2, students visited the Jablaniča Neretva River and the Sarajevo Tunnels Museum, gaining deeper insight into Bosnia’s wartime past and resilience. Day 3 took them to the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial, a profoundly moving and reflective experience. The trip concluded on Day 4 with a Sarajevo city tour, including the cable car and old town, offering a broader understanding of the country’s heritage and recovery.
Students reflected deeply on their experiences, with one sharing:
“I think the most impactful learning experience for me was looking in the cemetery and the museum that accompanied it. It was very eye-opening and it put my whole life into perspective.”
Another added:
“Seeing memorials and learning about events that happened in the actual country we studied was much more impactful than learning about it in London or online.”
Students also reflected on the importance of learning from lived experiences, with one noting how the trip encouraged greater awareness of history, peace, and global responsibility.
A powerful, thought-provoking journey that will stay with our students long after their return.

We’re excited to introduce Early Years Extracurricular Activities, now running twice a week and included in school fees.
From Lego Club to Drawing Club, our youngest learners have even more opportunities to explore creativity, problem-solving and collaboration beyond the classroom.
Research shows that children who participate in extracurricular activities are up to three times more likely to achieve higher academic outcomes, while also developing confidence and social skills.
At our Primary Campus in Kensington, learning doesn’t stop when the school day ends.
