Year 8 French Trip to Château de la Baudonnière

Our Year 8 pupils had a fabulous time in France at Château de la Baudonnière, enjoying bread making, raft building, a muddy assault course, teamwork activities and archery, all whilst immersing themselves in the French language & culture. A trip out to visit the magnificent Mont Saint-Michel was a magical highlight of their residential experience.

A week at the Château is said to be as beneficial to a pupil’s French learning, speaking and listening as a whole term of lessons. This visit will undoubtedly prove to be of huge benefit to our Year 8 pupils as they approach their Common Entrance exams in the summer.

Thank you to Mr Walker, Mrs Walker, Mr Chuter, Mrs Wilcox and Miss Reynolds for accompanying the children and to all the Chateau staff for an incredible experience.
