Friday 13th is the deadline to register your interest for the Year 8 Normandy trip in May 2020. There were a few hiccups with the Google link & Wisepay at the start but hopefully everyone received another email. Alternatively Madame Ashton has a few spare paper copies of the necessary forms in her room (M3).
This is a great opportunity to go on an exciting Tour of Normandy, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
The trip will depart on Thursday 7th May 2020 and return on Monday 10th May 2020. We will visit the D-Day landing beaches and other WW2-related places as it will be particularly relevant and poignant. Whilst the war did not end with the D-Day landing, it paved the way to the start of peace, finally achieved on 8th May 1945.
The cost of the trip is £420 per pupil , and is fully inclusive. We have a planned extensive programme of excursions including visits to Pegasus Bridge War Memorial, Juno Beach Canadian centre, Arromanches 360, Bayeux Tapestry, bread making at a Boulangerie, Mont Saint Michel, food tasting workshops, etc…
