There are school outings – and then there are truly memorable experiences.
Form I’s recent visit to Royal Ascot will certainly go down as one of those. With blue sky and brilliant sunshine, a highlight of the afternoon had to be seeing the Royal Procession. The girls had a prime position to wave and cheer as His Royal Majesty the King and other members of the Royal Family passed by in traditional horse-drawn carriages. A moment of national pride made even more special when we discovered that our enthusiastic group had been featured in the televised coverage of the event! A special thanks to our wonderful catering staff who carefully prepared a delicious, packed lunch including fresh strawberries and cream. It was a perfect nod to a classic British summer.
Royal Ascot gave our students a fantastic glimpse into British tradition and national culture. As one parent commented: “All in a week’s work for a Heathfield girl, no less.”
