Just before Christmas, 24 of our 6th Formers and staff went on a residential to London for 3 days. It was cold but they enjoyed a sight seeing bus tour to the capital. Especially seeing the Christmas lights in Trafalgar Square and Oxford Street. Some students visited the Victoria and Albert Museum whilst others visited the Science Museum. They shopped in Covent Garden, enjoyed some lovely meals and drank lots of hot chocolate, to keep them warm from the freezing cold weather. The highlight of the 3 days was going and watching the musical, Mamma Mia at the Prince of Wales theatre. A fabulous time was had by all.
