Verona trip

Our English and Food Technology departments lead an annual trip to the beautiful Italian city of Verona in the spring term. Once settled into their accommodation, students spend three days exploring the city of Verona including the Shakespearean sites of Juliet's Balcony, Juliet's Tomb and Juliet's Statue. Romeo and Juliet is our KS4 GCSE text and therefore it's a great opportunity to learn more about this prolific literary masterpiece and its history.

Students also participate in Italian cooking classes, learning how to make classic Italian pasta followed by the most enjoyable part, taste testing their efforts. Another renowned Italian food is gelato and students, on this trip, enjoy taste-tasting a range of local flavours as part of a gelato masterclass. This truly is the experience of a lifetime that will truly broaden their horizons.
