Year 9 Valencia trip

The Year 9 Half Term Valencia trip began at Gatwick Airport, with 14 students led by Dr Pickett and Mr Lay.

They settled into their hotel rooms and explored a local supermarket, using their Spanish skills to discover culinary delights. Next, they attended a Spanish speaking course at Costa de Valencia, delving into the city’s history and the famous Las Fallas festival.

Evenings included friendly dinners with Spanish pen-pals and bilingual quizzes. The students explored Valencia through walking tours, visited markets, and played beach football. The trip culminated with a visit to Mestalla stadium and football museum.

Their exemplary behaviour and real-life Spanish usage were commendable.
Thank you to the staff for leading an unforgettable experience. ¡Enhorabuena!
