• Y9 WWI Battlefields Trip Day 3 and we have had a morning of great contrast, visiting a German cemetery in Langemark and then to the CWG cemetery at Tyne Cot where we laid crosses for the soldiers from Bottesford who lost their lives in the Great War. Students worked out the ranks and ages of the fallen men from both sides and reflected in the futility of war. The scale of some of the places we have visited can be difficult to comprehend but our students have dealt sensitively with this and have been complemented wherever we have been. Our final stop was the Passendale Museum with another opportunity to learn with hands on activities and a fantastic immersive experience.

• Y9 WWI Battlefields Trip 2025 And the Menin Gate has never looked more beautiful. Our students joined around 1000 others all paying respects at the mark of remembrance this evening. Behaviour was exemplary and we were so proud to be represented by Evie C and Leo E who laid our wreath on behalf of the academy.

• Belgium Day 2 with our tour continuing this morning at two "strategic" sites - Hill 60 and Hill 62 - Sanctuary Wood. We had so many brilliant questions from students who immersed themselves in the trenches gaining an incredible insight into what soldiers endured in WWI. We then travelled to Ypres to gain our first glimpse of the Menin Gate where we will be laying a wreath at the evening ceremony tonight - please drop back onto the socials for the evening update. In Ypres we also visited the Hans and Stephanie's Leonidas Chocolate Shop! This is a Belvoir tradition and we hope the treats get home safely
