Our students had an unforgettable experience during their trip to Valencia, immersing themselves in the language, culture and vibrant atmosphere of Spain🇪🇸
Throughout the trip, students explored some of Valencia’s most famous landmarks, gaining a deeper understanding of the city’s rich history and culture. They stepped out of their comfort zones by learning salsa dancing, embracing a key part of Spanish tradition, and enjoyed exciting water activities, including paddleboarding and surfing along the beautiful Mediterranean coast🌊💃
For our Spanish students, the trip provided a valuable opportunity to practise their language skills in real-life situations, building confidence in speaking and listening while experiencing Spanish culture first-hand. From ordering food and asking for directions to interacting with local people, students were able to bring their classroom learning to life.
The trip was filled with adventure, learning and lasting memories, and we are incredibly proud of how our students represented the school throughout their time in Valencia🌟

What a fantastic afternoon at our Summer Music & Performing Arts Extravaganza! 🌟
Students from across the school came together to present a wonderful retelling of Where the Wild Things Are, showcasing the incredible musical and performing arts skills they have developed throughout the year.
Our instrumental musicians performed repertoire that captured the moods and emotions of each scene, including two original student compositions – Waves, written collaboratively by our cello students, and a composition created by Southbank Strings for the Wild Rumpus scene 🎶
Students also shared their creativity through dance, mime and freeze-frame performances, all of which were entirely student-created. Every student took part in singing, with a special performance from our choir adding to the celebration.
This performance was a true collaborative achievement and a wonderful opportunity for our students to share their hard work, creativity and talent with family and friends. We are incredibly proud of everyone involved! 👏
