Corby Technical School’s first ever residential trip abroad has been a huge success.

Corby Technical School’s first ever residential trip abroad has been a huge success.

A group of Year 8 students visited France last week where they took part in a range of activities and experienced French culture.

During the trip the students visited First World War battlefields, Le Chateau du Broutel, which hosts school activity and adventure holidays, and France’s ‘seaworld’ experience - the Nausicaa Centre in Boulogne.

Director of Mathematics, Linda Arnold, was one of the teachers who accompanied the students on the trip.

She said: “The trip went really well and the students’ behaviour was impeccable.

“They learned a lot about French culture during their stay and they found the visit to the battlefields particularly engaging.

“They also tried out a lot of French foods, including frog legs and snails.”

The students also explored local towns and French markets during their stay.

Declan, 13, and Charlotte, 12, were among the students who went on the trip.

Declan said: “It was a really good experience and we had a lot of fun.

“I enjoyed all the activities and visiting the French market.”

Charlotte added: “It was the first time I’d been to France and I really enjoyed myself.

“I liked visiting the beach and visiting the French towns near us.

“It was nice to be able to spend time with our friends because we don’t always get the chance to catch up with one another at school.”
