19 Apr Year 9 Globe Trip
Well done!
On Monday 25th and Wednesday 27th March, the English Department lead two days of trips to the Globe Theatre in London. Earlier in the year we had bid for, and successfully obtained, free tickets to see William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet! We decided this would be the perfect trip to take our 300 Year 9 pupils on; they behaved exemplarily and engaged extremely positively with the opportunity.
Sponsored by Deutsch Bank, this experience allowed pupils to watch and experience live theatre on one of the most famous stages in the world! The bright costumes, incredible surroundings and lively atmosphere made for two amazing days out that not only enhanced their contextual learning, but it also supported the learning from the previous term when they studied the play as part of the curriculum.
The production was modern, exciting and really tried to marry the realities our children live in with a story written in the Elizabethan times. The use of bike stunts was nail-biting!
The students had a fantastic experience and did the school proud.
