Year 7 Winchester Cathedral - January 2025

Our Year 7 students embarked on two much-anticipated trips to Winchester Cathedral, and both were fantastic days filled with learning, exploration and fun!

The students behaved wonderfully throughout and fully immersed themselves in the activities. They experienced "A Day in the Life of a Monk," where they wore monks habits and learned how monks communicated using sign language during their vow of silence—especially when it came to asking for food! They also took on the role of archaeologists, digging for artefacts and discovering clues about the past.

A highlight of the day was the fascinating tour of the cathedral. The students were captivated by the incredible historical facts and stories surrounding Winchester Cathedral’s long, varied, and often brutal history.  It was a pleasure to see our students engaging so enthusiastically and making the most of this unique learning opportunity.

A huge thank you to all the staff and cathedral guides who made the trip such a success!
