Recent Ski Trip

Ski Trip to Bardonecchia – A Fantastic Experience!

From Saturday 15th February to Sunday 23rd February, 42 students took part in an unforgettable ski trip to Bardonecchia, Italy. We were lucky to have fantastic weather throughout, and although the slopes were icy at times, the students rose to the challenge, developing their skiing skills with determination and enthusiasm. Whether complete beginners or experienced skiers, everyone made noticeable progress, showing resilience and a willingness to push themselves outside their comfort zones.

Beyond the slopes, students had the opportunity to enjoy a variety of après-ski activities. The highlight of the trip was the exhilarating alpine coaster, where students raced down the mountain at thrilling speeds, making for an unforgettable experience. They also enjoyed a swim and spa evening, explored the town, and rounded off the week with a pizza night enjoying authentic Italian cuisine.

Throughout the trip, the students were a credit to the school, demonstrating our values of Respect for All, Achievement for All in everything they did. Their teamwork, positive attitude, and willingness to support one another made this experience truly special.

A huge thank you to Mr Hill, Miss Jones, Miss Philpott, Mr Armstrong, Miss Stanley, and Mr Rayat for giving up their half-term to make this trip possible. Their dedication and support played a key role in ensuring its success.

For those inspired by this experience, keep an eye out—there will be another opportunity to go on a ski trip in 2027!

Mr Hill
PE Teacher
