Sixth Formers make it to Morocco!

Pupils in the Sixth Form escaped from the snow in February and headed to the bustling city of Marrakech and the baron desert of Morocco. At the start of the trip the pupils stayed in a hotel opposite the Mosque and were given an early wake up call by the prayer calls at 5.30am!

The pupils pitched their own tents at the end of each day trekking through the Moroccan Sahara in a traditional camel caravan. Read More →
