On 6th July the year 7 year group attended the annual Oxford trip. We were very lucky to have the sun
shining on us for the whole 2 days, however, it was very warm and the pupils soon were wishing for shade.
The journey down to Warwick castle was smooth and all pupils were punctual which meant we had lots of
time to investigate the castle. Pupils saw the great hall and stately rooms, visited the time tower, walked
along the walls and turrets and saw 2 shows. It is safe to say that the most impressive part of the day was
the falconry show. Falcons and eagles flew gracefully through the sky, swooping through crowds and nearly
knocking Mrs Coase over in the process. It was an incredibly impressive sight.
The next leg of the trip was to visit the birthplace of William Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon. We walked
along the canal and through a beautiful park to the Church to see his grave. The church itself was very
beautiful. We then had free time to relax before the evening meal at Pizza Express which was a roaring
success. The pupils were polite and helpful and even gave some tips!
