Program 3: Summer 2018 – Day 8

After an eventful, exciting, but exhausting weekend of excursions, the students were treated this morning to a well-deserved lie-in. With classes not starting until 1pm (usually 9am), we all were given the time to get fully rejuvenated for the start of Week 2!! And what a week it is set out to be: with activities…

Program 3: Summer 2018 – Day 7

Today our Reachers dived further into the rich history of Great Britain by visiting Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of nobody less than William Shakespeare, and Warwick Castle, a massive stone fortress originally built by William the Conqueror. We made a great start by leaving right after an early breakfast, with packed lunches in our rucksacks. Our first…

Program 3: Summer 2018 – Day 6

It’s the weekend which, at Reach, means – excursions! Today everyone started the day just a little earlier so as to beat the traffic into London. This morning was spent split between two museums.

That is exactly what the students of Reach Cambridge were treated to today. Considering the beautiful weather this…

Another day, another excursion for the students of Reach Cambridge! We thought we’d add some variety to proceedings today, and we did not go to London. Instead we gave the students an experience quite unlike any other, and we headed to the Great British Seaside. The typical understanding of a trip to the seaside involves…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 13

Despite it only feeling like five minutes ago since Reach Summer 2018 began, our second round of weekend excursions has begun. The last week has been filled with fun, activities and learning, but it’s also been hard work, and so everyone was in need of some adventure. We at Reach Cambridge like to think that…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 7

With the sun shining brightly and balmy temperatures predicted for the day, tiredness from the previous day’s excursion was quickly forgotten, as the bus journey provided plenty of opportunity for napping! First stop was…
