German Immersion Trip 2025

Written by Leo K, Year 10

 

Recently I went on a school immersion trip to Berlin and it was an amazing and unforgettable experience. During the trip, we visited many famous landmarks including the TV Tower, the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag building, each of which helped me learn about Germany’s history and culture. One of the most interesting moments was our visit to the Berlin wall, as it made the experience feel so meaningful. We also had the opportunity to try a wide range of traditional German food such as Currywurst, which was surprisingly delicious and very different from what I usually eat at home. As well as learning about Berlin, the trip allowed me to make friends for life and get to know people I had not spoken to much before. We went to the German school of our pen pals twice and also did activities with them in the centre of Berlin, including a scavenger hunt and a party on the last night. Overall, the Berlin immersion trip was an incredible opportunity that helped me gain new experiences, memories and a greater appreciation for another culture.

Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
