Year 8 students explore history and culture in Paris !

This month, our Year 8 (5e) students went on a residential trip to explore Paris. From the grandeur of Versailles to the collections of the Musée d’Orsay and the Musée des Arts et Métiers, they discovered some of the places and ideas that have shaped French history and culture, bringing their classroom learning to life.

One of the many highlights of the trip was undoubtedly their evening at the Comédie-Française to watch Le Malade Imaginaire. Seeing Molière performed on stage brought a text studied in class to life in a way no lesson ever could. To make the evening even more memorable, the main actor Guillaume Gallienne came to greet our students after the performance! Of course, there was much more to the week than museums and monuments. Travelling together, navigating the métro, sharing experiences and spending time with friends all contributed to making this a rich and rewarding trip.

Thank you to the teachers and staff who made this trip possible.
