Students and staff enjoyed a jam packed trip to New York over half term.
43 students had the opportunity to go on this school-trip of a lifetime to experience the hustle and bustle of one of the world’s most famous cities.
The trip was designed to give students a taste of the city visiting the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, Central Park, Central Park Zoo and of course the 9/11 Memorial site. They enjoyed the iconic New York Skyline from the Brooklyn Bridge, and although they didn’t get a good few from the top of the Empire State building due to the snow, the fact they had had the opportunity to go to the top was excitement enough.
Amongst all the cultural and educational visits students also had time to indulge in some great restaurants and of course a bit of retail therapy. One of the highlights for many students was Mr Johnstone doing a dance in Bubba Gump’s Shrimp Restaurant as the students had announced to staff that he was celebrating his birthday (sadly we don’t appear to have video evidence of this)!
Pupil Premium Mentor Mrs Somers said, “The trip went really well. The students were exceptionally well behaved and a credit to our school. We really hope this experience will stay with them for a lifetime and they’ll look back on it with fond memories in years to come”.
