@Emma35878863 It was our absolute pleasure.

It was a massive privilege for Mrs Young, Ben and myself to escort such a wonderful group on expedition. They were resolute in that the most important experience that had gained was to recognise how lucky they are and how happy you can be with very little. The future is bright.

We're very proud of all of their achievements and experiences during the fortnight and hope that they have shared all of their wonderful (and sometimes hilarious) stories with you.

We've been delayed by some road closures around London so looking more like 0230 at this stage.

[Thomas Alleyne's High School Expeditions @ExpeditionsTAHS]

@BednallRuth Excellent question. We will have the coach pull up in the bus station to offload. If parents can park in the maltings and walk round to collect, that would be ideal. Thank you for setting up the WhatsApp to spread the word too.

We're on the road. Current ETA 0215 at school, assuming no stops or delays. I'll update as we get closer.

[Thomas Alleyne's High School Expeditions @ExpeditionsTAHS]

We're on the ground. With an unknown wait at baggage and security, I'll update again when we're on the road. #backinblighty

A lovely walk around Koutoubia before lunch and the bus to the airport. Last day and what a scorcher!

[Thomas Alleyne's High School Expeditions @ExpeditionsTAHS]

Bags are packed, they're all shopped out. We're about to start our journey to the airport and home. See you all soon.

Dinner in the heart of the Souk. Our last dinner in Morocco before we start the journey home.

[Thomas Alleyne's High School Expeditions @ExpeditionsTAHS]

@TAHSHeadteacher We certainly shall.

Last day at the project. Considerably more tired and dirty but we're all pleased with the progress we've made. A quick lunch and shower then on the bus back to Marrakech.

Really starting to take shape#

"Rocking it" at the project today. It's really starting to terms shape and you can see the progress we've made.

The universal game of keepy-uppy being utilised to bond with the community.

[Thomas Alleyne's High School Expeditions @ExpeditionsTAHS]

More progress made at the project. The digging, fencing and concrete teams working hard, while our resident concrete expert tests the mix has the appropriate "jiggle jiggle" before it is approved for use.

@TAHSHeadteacher Unfortunately, they did capture a moment of poor judgment/ dancing from Dr S

[Thomas Alleyne's High School Expeditions @ExpeditionsTAHS]

Demonstrating some "traditional English party dancing" for our hosts. 😂😂🎂

@Dibley_doo I hope you've seen this evening's post...

[Thomas Alleyne's High School Expeditions @ExpeditionsTAHS]

First day at the project in Tagleft. Hard work in the morning, then making our own fun in the afternoon to avoid the heat.

Celebrating your 16th birthday Moroccan style. Happy birthday!
