#Soane26 yesterday was brilliant. This year’s theme of ‘knowing more’ resonated in ways I didn’t expect! Counsell, Vallance, Allen, and Hill were great. Hearing Evans in person was amazing. I left with the feeling: so much beautiful work is going on and there is much more to do!

I had the incredible opportunity to spend a week at Greets Public School in Kochi - India , a well-established CBSE-affiliated institution known for its strong academic ethos, holistic development approach, and commitment to nurturing global citizens.

Just returned from a powerful and thought-provoking researchED — an incredible deep dive into the research driving education forward, with insightful conversations emphasising the importance of evidence-based teaching.

the students. Thank you to Mr Wood, Mrs Baldwin, Miss Bradley, Mrs Green, Miss Jose, Mr Noble, Mr Sacchi, Mr Storey and Mrs Vieira-Dawes who all made a phenomenal contribution to the trip.

Planning for the Berlin Trip 2025 for the Class of 2028 starts soon…

Happy half term!

[Avonbourne History @AvonbourneHist]

The Berlin trip 2024 is over…

The students once again represented themselves and Avonbourne superbly. We are extremely proud of them all.

The highlights for students this year tended to be the Olympics stadium the Gleis 17 Memorial, Sachsenhausen concentration camp memorial

[Avonbourne History @AvonbourneHist]

and the Berlin zoo. In addition to the historical studies students learn all sorts of important life skills for future independence.

I hope the students enjoyed themselves as much as I did. Trips like this are not possible without the goodwill of staff to accompany and guide

[Avonbourne History @AvonbourneHist]

Final day in Berlin - the zoo and the mall. Now departed and on the journey back to England. All currently to schedule.

[Avonbourne History @AvonbourneHist]

An eclectic day on the Berlin Trip today with visits to the Olympic Stadium, Olympic Bell Tower, Gleis 17 memorial, Checkpoint Charlie museum, Berlin Wall memorial centre, a meal out and bowling!

[Avonbourne History @AvonbourneHist]

An emotional day on the Berlin Trip: visits to Sachsenhausen concentration camp memorial, Roma and Sinti memorial, visit up the Reichstag. Followed by evening activities in a local park, intense table tennis and very loud Uno!

Wonderful weather today for our walking tour day across key sites in Berlin. Students enjoyed seeing multiple different types of sites and memorials, including the Ritter Sport chocolate shop. Students still doing fantastically and are now worn out!

[Avonbourne History @AvonbourneHist]

A great day 1 and 2 with 90 years 11s in Berlin. They have been fantastic throughout the journey and this evening enjoyed a leisurely walk to see some of the Berlin sites by night.

Filling in revision guides has all paid off - hard work really does get the rewards. We are also pleased to be welcoming back record numbers to continue to study history in the United Sixth Form. Best of luck Class of 2026 in your next steps and keep in touch!
