On Tuesday 30th June our music students went to visit The Royal College of Music, which was an extremely successful and enriching experience.

The day began with a guided museum tour, where students were engaged throughout. They listened attentively, asked thoughtful questions and showed genuine curiosity about the exhibits, demonstrating an enthusiasm for learning beyond the classroom.

Following the tour, students took part in an interactive workshop linked to the museum collection. Working collaboratively in groups, they completed a “Concerto Through Time” timeline and map activity, drawing on the knowledge they had gained during the tour. It was wonderful to see the level of teamwork, discussion and engagement as students confidently shared ideas and supported one another to complete the task.

On Thursday, 16th April 2026, Year 8 students visited Amersham Field Centre as part of their Geography studies. 

During the trip, students took part in a variety of hands-on activities focused on microclimates. Using instruments such as thermometers, anemometers, rain gauges and barometers, they measured different elements of the weather, recorded real-time data and analysed it to identify patterns and trends. 

On Friday 20th March, 31 students attended a theatre trip to the Phoenix Theatre to watch the acclaimed production of Stranger Things: The First Shadow. The group departed college at 11:30am and returned at approximately 5:30pm, following an engaging and thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

The performance captivated students from the outset, combining impressive visual effects, a compelling storyline, and high-quality acting. The production offered a unique opportunity to experience the world of Stranger Things in a live theatre setting, bringing the story to life in an exciting and immersive way.
