Normandy Trip 2025

Categories: Latest Academy News, Featured

A group of Year 9 students has travelled to Normandy for a History and Geography trip. They have visited the war cemetery in Bayeux and viewed the Bayeux Tapestry. The British Normandy Memorial was a moving experience for everyone, with the sight of the metal soldier monuments rising from the beaches helping them truly visualise the Normandy landings.

A visit to the beach at Arromanches revealed what remains of the artificial Mulberry Harbour at Gold Beach. This visit also provided students with the opportunity to see the coastal headlands and witness the sea defences at the back of the beach.

Latest update:
Today, students visited Juno Beach, the location of the Canadian landings. It was also a great opportunity for students to walk through and learn about the sand dune formations. From there, they went to Pegasus Bridge and the Pegasus Bridge Memorial Museum, which was a crucial location at the beginning of the end of WWII. Students could see original artefacts from the war and learn about this important time in history.

Please see the photo gallery below which will be updated as the trip continues:
