Field Trips
December 2023
Guildhall Art Gallery & Roman Amphitheatre
The Guildhall Art Gallery proved to be an amazing experience for the General English class. We then examined a range of artwork, including paintings and sculptures, before heading underground the gallery to view the remnants of London’s Roman Amphitheatre.
Royal Trip
This excursion was fascinating. We went to a lot of places, like Buckingham Palace, Green Park, Fortnum & Mason, and the Royal Academy of Arts. Each of these locales has a fascinating and regal past. We even had the opportunity to witness the guard-changing parade. Our pupils had a fantastic opportunity to learn about London’s history with this trip.
The General English class had a fantastic time seeing Trafalgar Square’s National Portrait Gallery! They had the opportunity to view an extensive collection of portraits that span the ages, from the eighth century to the present.
