Barcelona Trip

IMG_3496On the 26th May, we took 60 students to Barcelona on a sports trip. The trip included training for 2 days and international fixtures/tournaments,  visits to Barcelona City Centre, Aquapolis Water Park and to Barcelona’s home ground, Nou Camp.

The night time activities included karaoke which some of our students put the staff to shame and the famous disco were our school took over the dance floor and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

The hotel we stayed in was lovely and students enjoyed the large selection of food available. I’m sure all students would agree that they would of liked the pool to be a ‘tiny’ bit warmer!! On the last day students enjoyed a walk to the beach and were able to do any last minute shopping while enjoying an ice cream on the beach! Read More
