Year 8 French trip 1st-5th July 2019  

Many thanks to all parents who have paid their deposits and returned permission slips and copies of passports. Everyone who has paid a deposit has secured a place and will be notified shortly. 

This is a fabulous trip which is an excellent cultural experience as well as a great way to practice the language. Students will stay in a holiday village near the beach and will spend a day at a chateau doing adventure /outdoor activities (instructed completely in French by instructors who know how to explain things to learners of French). They will also benefit from visits to cultural and historical sites in Normandy including Mont St Michel, WWII Landing beaches, and the Bayeux Tapestry.

If you have not yet returned your permission slip please do so as soon as possible. Parents and students will be invited to a meeting to give full details for the trip approximately 6 weeks before the trip. A reminder of the schedule for remaining payments is below:
