Year 12 Trip to Kent

On 11 July Mr Organ, Ms Brown and Mr Conway took a group of students to Kent for a three day residential. Starting in Rochester, the home of Charles Dickens, the students then visited Canterbury Cathedral and also Dover Castle, where they visited the tunnels which housed the control centre for Operation Dynamo in World War 2. This was the when a fleet of small vessels recued thousands of British troops from Dunkirk in Northern France.

The students stayed in the Carmelite Friary at Aylesford and despite their disappointment at England’s World Cup semi- final defeat, they had a memorable time.

Congratulations to all of the students for the way in which they conducted themselves throughout the visit to Kent, where they gained many new admirers for their behaviour and interest.
