Pupils from Marine Academy Primary enjoyed an action-packed trip to Paris this term, experiencing the sights, sounds and tastes of the French capital.

Highlights of the trip included a boat trip along the Seine, a visit to the Eiffel Tower, exploring the Sacré-Cœur and making traditional crêpes. Pupils also had the opportunity to try local foods, including some more adventurous choices such as snails!

The trip combined cultural learning with fun and practical experiences, giving pupils the chance to explore a new city, face new challenges and make memories together. For many of these young learners it was their first time abroad. 

As part of the Ted Wragg Trust, the visit is part of Marine Academy Primary’s ongoing commitment to providing pupils with opportunities that broaden horizons, spark curiosity and build confidence both inside and outside the classroom.

Georgina Reid, Headteacher at Marine Academy Primary, said:

“What a wonderful trip. It has been such a joy to share pupils’ adventures. These are experiences they will never forget, and it has been fantastic to see them growing in confidence and curiosity along the way. They were all fantastic ambassadors for the school.”

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Multi-Academy Trust, said:

“Trips like this give pupils experiences that last a lifetime. Seeing them explore new places, try new things, and support one another shows just how much they can achieve when given the opportunity.”
