Day 15: One Big Community

After a hectic weekend of excursions, we started our Monday at Reach a bit of a lie in – students really appreciated the later breakfast and more leisurely start to class! The sun was shining in Cambridge after lunch time, as we headed out to the Paddock for some sports in the sunshine. As well as…

Day 10: Capture the Flag

On Wednesday we made use of the glorious weather and ran a large game of Capture the Flag in a local park. This involved about 50 students and multiple supervisors.

Day Two: World Fair!

Classes were in full swing already by this morning; we were particularly impressed by the efforts of the Maths and Engineering students with the model bridges that they created in the workshop of the Cambridge Engineering Department – there was definitely a lot of architectural flair shining through! After class many students headed into town…

Day One: Reach Cambridge gets off to a flying start

The days are beginning to get shorter and the school term is now in full swing – indeed, summer holidays are just a distant memory… But here…
