Ensuring the dynamic presence of King Edward`s was fully felt across mainland Europe last week, SPAIN for our second group of Queen Mary House (Year 7 & 8) pupils.

If a picture paints a thousand words, there`s a veritable library to enjoy in this video! From watersports to waterparks, from Girona to Barcelona, this was an action packed trip full of joy and laughter... and possibly blue ice lollies.

Our huge thanks to our fantastic staff for their kindness, humour and tremendous energy.

Childhood memories are made of this...
