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.

Well done to Orlando who spent the weekend playing for the North East at the UK Regional U13 Boys’ Hockey Finals in Nottingham – three days with six full matches in the gruelling heat! His team came third overall, which is an amazing achievement! #compassforlife
