Everything is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious… we have had a great start<br />
to this academic year, and it all began with excellent results back in August<br />
for the GCSE, AS and A Level students—well done to them all. But as ever,<br />
the term kicks off and this year to a flying start with the songs, the<br />
costumes and the chimney sweep props for the classic Mary Poppins<br />
musical! We are looking forward to this event, taking place over three<br />
days, 6 th , 7 th , and 8 th November at The Cotswold School.<br />
At The Cotswold School, we pride ourselves on the multitude of trips,<br />
excursions and expeditions. We believe the amount pupils learn away<br />
from the classroom and in real-life situations is significant, and this way of<br />
maximising teaching now permeates each subject: -<br />
Year 7 have enjoyed their first residential, English trips to the Cheltenham<br />
Literary Festival and History trip to Goodrich Castle. Year 9 travelled to the<br />
Battlefields in France. This trip always proves to be a thought provoking<br />
trip, and more notably this year, as we look to mark the centenary of the<br />
end of World War I. Our English students have watched plays including<br />
The Lovely Bones, The Unreturning, Othello and An Inspector Calls – the<br />
beauty of having Cheltenham, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon and<br />
Birmingham all in easy reach. Our first-ever Sports trip to Sri Lanka has just<br />
left for a half-term trip with teams in Rugby, Netball, Football, Hockey and<br />
Cricket travelling to this island. Good luck! And students will be visiting<br />
China, again over half-term – a trip that takes place every two years - this<br />
is now the fourth visit. Students from across the years spend time in<br />
Beijing and Shanghai and in Suzhou with our partner school.<br />
