Students at Isca Academy in Exeter have returned home from their first-ever ski trip in Masella, Spain.

After settling into their resort in the Catalan Pyrenees, students took lessons, improved their technique, and embraced the challenges of skiing, including first-time experiences on the chairlift and tackling longer runs.

The group made impressive progress on the slopes, and ski instructors praised the students for their politeness and positive attitude.

Away from the slopes, students enjoyed a range of activities including snow games, competitions, and evening entertainment such as Zumba lessons and karaoke.

Part of the Ted Wragg Trust, Isca Academy prides itself on offering a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities, from sports and arts to outdoor education, helping students build confidence, teamwork, and life skills alongside their academic studies.

Mrs Vicki Joyce, Headteacher at Isca Academy, said:

“Our students had a brilliant time on the trip. They threw themselves into every lesson and activity, showed great determination, and supported each other along the way. It was wonderful to see them grow in confidence and make memories that will last a lifetime."

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust, said:

“It’s fantastic to see our students embracing new experiences and enjoying what the world has to offer. Opportunities like this are exactly what we want for every young person in our Trust - moments that broaden horizons, build confidence, and create lifelong memories.”
