Spanish Football Tour

This week, some of our footballing students are on tour to Barcelona.

Here is the Day One update from Miss Wellings:

What a fantastic start to our tour! It was an early morning, with everyone arriving at school for a 4am start, but the students were full of excitement and ready for the trip ahead. We travelled to Gatwick Airport, checked in smoothly, and enjoyed a comfortable flight to Barcelona!

After landing, we transferred by coach to our hotel, where everyone settled into their rooms but were met with a swift turn around to head towards the football fixtures! The weather has not disappointed, with temperatures a (very uncomfortable) 33 degrees Celsius! 

As the afternoon went on the students enjoyed taking part in the football fixtures against Spanish opposition. 

Results:

• Year 10- 0-0
• Year 9- 2-1 win
• Girls Team 2-1 loss

The students represented the school brilliantly, showing excellent teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship throughout. It was a great way to kick off the tour and everyone should be proud of their efforts.

Following the matches, we returned to the hotel for a well-earned dinner before winding down for the evening. Despite the early start, spirits remained high, and the students are looking forward to another exciting day tomorrow!
