Above & Beyond Award ❤️

Some of the best moments on tour happen away from the football pitch. These 2 students have shown genuine kindness, care and consideration, always looking out for others and putting their teammates first. A real credit to themselves and orionSpires. 👏❤️

What a night of football

Our U14s battled their way to a fantastic 2-1 victory with a brilliant team effort!

Our U15s were involved in a thrilling 5-4 defeat, showing incredible fight, determination and teamwork throughout.

Two fantastic performances and plenty to be proud of

Today we visited Reichswald War Cemetery in Germany, where thousands of Commonwealth servicemen are laid to rest.
A humbling experience for our students, who showed great respect as we took time to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who gave their lives during the WW2. 🇬🇧🇩🇪

With two games played yesterday, we had two well-deserved Player of the Match awards! Both players put in fantastic performances, showing great effort, determination and teamwork. 👏🇳🇱

A brilliant effort from both and thoroughly deserved!

Our students got the chance to explore the away changing rooms at the Johan Cruyff Arena and admire shirts displayed on the wall from legends like Ronaldo, Haaland, Messi, and many more! Not as glamorous but still great

Found one of Amsterdam’s viral shops during our walk around the city! Safe to say it was a popular stop with the students, who were more than happy to have a look around! 🇳🇱

In good spirits and ready for Amsterdam

A behind-the-scenes look at one of Europe’s most famous football clubs, with plenty of memories made along the way!

A tough test for both teams tonight, but a brilliant experience for everyone. The players battled through injuries and showed fantastic resilience throughout. Even managed a trip to A&E, but thankfully nothing broken! Everyone back safe and the boys are tucked up in bed! ⚽👏
