On 21st September, Year 7 went on a history trip to visit Warwick Castle. Warwick Castle is a medieval castle developed from a wooden fort, originally built by William the Conqueror during 1068. Pupils climbed the towers and when they reached the top saw the fantastic views of Warwick! The whole of Year 7 were exemplary throughout the day in terms of their participation and their behaviour. They got to experience a War of the Roses tour, learnt about the history of the castle, discovering how it was built and what castle life was like throughout the years. We also thoroughly enjoyed the recently re-instated trebuchet show – a phenomenon of fire, ammunition and history, as well as the falcon show where we saw birds with wingspans of up to 9 feet!
Notable comments from pupils included, “I’ve never seen anything like this before in my life!” and “This is the best trip that I have ever been on!”
A hugely successful trip that was enjoyed by pupils and staff alike.
