Alex Ballinger MP came to visit The Earls today to commend students for their work out in The Gambia and the fundraising that had taken place prior to their visit.

Well, all good things must come to end and our trip to Gambia is no exception. This morning, the students packed up and had a rather casual morning. We did manage a quick walk on the beach, a short awards ceremony and some final games of table tennis and pool. Students received their batik work...

The last full day is always an emotional one and today was no exception! After the excitement of last night's meal students were a little slow stirring this morning, but once they were in the land of the living, they were certainly busy bees!! At 9am we left the hotel; we had a squad of 6 artists...

Well, a slightly ‘chilled’ start this morning after the highs of yesterday evening's karaoke escapades! They may be behaving like little angels, but I’m not sure I can second that statement with the interesting sounds that came from them all singing together, dulcet tones would certainly be...

Today the students were again fantastic!! We had a lovely breakfast (pancakes proved very popular). We travelled to Omega school and worked with some of the students there who had come into school especially on a Saturday because they wanted to do arts and crafts with our students! The morning...

On Tuesday 11th February, our year 7s were treated to an inspiring trip to Symphony Hall to watch the CBSO perform an eclectic mix of musical pieces. With balcony seats, they had a spectacular view as the CBSO introduced the 4 instrumental families of the orchestra, demonstrating the wonderful...
