However, Douay Martyrs are a very good team and they came back to 2-2 at the end of the first half. In the second half, again we started really strong and scored 2 more goals and one of our players got a hat trick. Leading 4-2 towards the end of the second half and again Douay Martyrs came back to 4-4 and the match ended.

Every single one of them thoroughly enjoyed the show and they spent the journey home talking about what they had seen and what their favourite part was. For many it was their first experience in a West-End theatre, but judging by their smiles, it will not be their last.

Our recent Year 10 trip to Paris was nothing short of spectacular! The two-day adventure was filled with laughter, exploration, and unforgettable moments. The students’ arrival into the City of Light began with a serene Bateaux Mouches cruise along the Seine, where they saw the Eiffel Tower glittering like a jewel in the night. The following day was a whirlwind of iconic sights, from the Arc de Triomphe to taking in the Trocadéro’s postcard-perfect views of the Eiffel Tower. We admired the timeless beauty of Notre-Dame and wandered around Île de la Cité before heading to the vibrant streets of Montmartre. The Sacré-Coeur Basilica offered breath-taking views of Paris, making it the perfect way to conclude our trip. Every moment was picture-perfect. This Parisian adventure reminded us why we travel—to bond, to discover, and to find joy in the journey itself. It was a trip filled with memories we’ll treasure forever, and we can’t wait for our next adventure!
