On 8 Feb, 20 students & 3 teachers braved the cold to raise awareness & funds for the #homeless. They slept on concrete floors, raising £1,929 so far. Despite the discomfort, the night brought them closer & deepened their understanding. Donate here: https://t.co/t3QvPxspiE

For our last few days in #Greece, the sun shone bright as our students visited the #theatreofEpidaurus, famed for its #acoustics. They also reconstructed the healing rituals of #Asclepios & explored Agamemnon's palace in Mycenae. What an amazing trip it's been!

Our #Classics students have been living the dream, immersing themselves in the rich history of #AncientGreece. After a few fascinating days in #Athens, they've been on the move, visiting the famous #OracleofApollo at #Delphi, & running/winning a race against a French school.

Year 9 students have been learning about ‘Space & Place’, a contemporary geography topic often reserved for university study. They spent the day learning about how some of our teachers and monks are connected to the Ampleforth valley, using QR codes to learn more from the videos.
