During February half term, 78 students from Year 10-13 and 10 teachers travelled to Claviere in Italy for the school ski trip. The journey passed quickly, chatting, watching films and sleeping. We arrived on Saturday afternoon to settle into our lovely hotel, do our ski fit for ski equipment and early bed!
The weather was sunny all week, chilly at times but we did get snow on Thursday, making for some wet conditions on our final skiing day! We all had such great fun – the instructors were all so experienced and knowledgeable and everyone made great progress. The beginners were on red slopes on the second day!
We enjoyed our evening activities too; bowling, pizza night at a local pizzeria and karaoke – thank you to those amazing singers, treating us to some classic songs! Our hotel was in great location, just a short walk from the slopes, in the middle of a quiet town. We were treated to some great food; pasta, lasagne, burgers, hot dogs, chicken, salad, soup etc! We were so proud of the progress everyone made and for showing great resilience on some very challenging slopes, which at times were icy and covered of moguls!
We hope you all had a great time and made some lovely memories with your friends! Thank you to all the staff who came on the trip and accompanied the students during half term and Ms Young for her support with the administration and finance.
At Presdales, all Year 12 students are given the opportunity to take part in Bar Mock Trial, a competition in which schools compete head to head to enact a mock criminal case. There are several performance roles on offer, including barristers, witnesses, court clerks and ushers, which accurately portray the legal procedures of a Crown Court.
Beginning in September, those Year 12s who were interested in taking part in Bar Mock Trial, auditioned and our team was assembled. These consisted of 3 groups:
– Maja Pickering and Esmé Sabin (barristers), Emily Shaw and Olivia Whyley (witnesses), and Ava Leret (usher/court clerk)
– Lilian Simmonds and Yasmin Lum (barristers), Poppy Friedner and Chloe Milson (witnesses) and Hannah Gaudio (usher)
– Anna-Lilja Tholozan and Jess Grizenkova (barristers), Sophie Gibbons and Tara Ogunsola (witnesses) and Tinaye Dzapasi (court clerk)
After rehearsing weekly for several months, including two trips to the law court in the University of Hertfordshire at Hatfield, the day finally came and on the second of December we made our way to Snaresbrook Crown Court in London.
There were 18 participating schools in our regional heat, one of the biggest in the country. Despite the pressure, our hard work paid off. In each of the three rounds, our three groups competed against opposing schools, showcasing their legal proficiency and performance abilities. The results were even better than we could’ve hoped for – every group within our overall team emerged victorious against their respective rival school.
As the competition progressed, it became evident that our collective effort was making a significant impact. The tension reached its peak when the final scores were tallied, and we discovered that we had amassed the highest number of points our school has ever achieved in the regional heats. It was a testament to the dedication and resilience of each participant. Three members of our team even managed to attain full marks in elements of their respective roles: an achievement which, according to Mr Spurgeon, is, ‘unheard of’.
However, the journey had one more twist. Despite the remarkable tally, we secured a close runners-up spot, narrowly losing to London-based Brampton Manor Academy by a mere three points! While the disappointment of falling short of the top spot lingered, we were still incredibly proud of our achievement.
In the end, the Bar Mock Trial competition proved to be a day of triumph, showcasing our school’s commitment to excellence in extracurricular activities. The experience not only enhanced our understanding of courtroom procedures but also instilled a sense of camaraderie and achievement among our participants, with some students forming friendships with other competitors. As we reflect on this memorable journey, we celebrate the hard work, determination, and success that define our Bar Mock Trial teams. We would also like to take the time to thank the dedication of Mr Spurgeon, who runs Bar Mock Trial at Presdales, and who willingly gave up his free time in order to support us and ensure we were confident and secure in our roles.
German A Level Study Visit, 19th to 23rd October 2023
We are studying German A Level and have recently returned from an amazing trip to Düsseldorf in the Rhineland. Mrs Yates promised us an experience of daily life and a snapshot of Germany’s rich, diverse culture as well as the opportunity to interact with German people of all ages and to hear, see and speak the language we are learning in the classroom. That is exactly what we got and much, much more. We hope this write up and the photos will give you a flavour of some of what we experienced.
One of the most interesting and beneficial parts of the trip was definitely having the opportunity to visit our two German partner schools. On our first day, we had to negotiate the transport system and set off early to visit the Heinrich Heine Gesamtschule as first lessons in German schools begin at 8 o’clock! We were welcomed by the Deputy Head Teacher, Frau Tascan-Pelligrino, in the Conference room with ‘Butterbrote’ and felt like very important visitors. Then followed a tour by sixth form students, who were very friendly and enthusiastic. It was very interesting to speak to students of similar ages and hear their opinions on the differences in the school systems, and how they find life in Düsseldorf! The biggest difference we noticed was that the school in Germany seemed quite relaxed with more responsibility on the student to self-motivate and get on with work, students did not have to wear uniforms and teachers still use blackboards and chalk! Our second school visit was to our other partner school the Gymnasiam am Neandertal school in Erkrath (near Düsseldorf). Here we were able to take part in one of their English lessons. The German student’s level of English was very impressive and gave rise to a discussion about when they begin learning English in the German School system. They begin in Year 2 of Primary School and have 4 hours per week in Secondary School. The school visits were a great opportunity for us, and were very relevant to the content on our German course.
We were lucky enough to be invited to dinner in a German home. We took the tram to Frau Schorn’s lovely home and spent an amazing evening with her. She cooked us some delicious German food, including Kartoffelklöße (Potato dumplings), made with potato starch, and Rinnderrouladen (Beef Rouladen). Her house was decorated so nicely and we were delighted that she had invited us there. We ate all of the food and went home happily with full stomachs and full hearts! However, when we arrived back at the hostel, we were met with a shock. The whole hostel had been evacuated and there were fire trucks and ambulances! We were all a bit confused and worried, but luckily, it had been a small incident and quickly dealt with by staff at the hostel before the fire trucks had even arrived. We were able to go back to our hostel room very quickly, knowing that all the safety systems were working. Another experience of daily life!
We spent some time doing some German language work together in the lounge of the hostel, even on a Sunday morning but it didn’t seem like work ! We had many opportunities to choose and organise activities we were interested in. We chose to go to the K21 art gallery, where we were able to experience the exhibition “In Orbit” by Tomas Saraceno. This allows guests to walk on nets 25 metres off the ground over the art gallery. We had to wear uninspiring jumpsuits and special climbing shoes, but it was a fun experience. Mrs Yates was a keen participant and liked it the most out of all of us!
One of the highlights of our visit was to get the chance to meet Carl Philipp, the sixth form pen friend from our partner School who Amelie and Evie had been writing to during Year 12. He met us outside an ice cream shop in Carlspaltz. He introduced us to a German speciality, ‘Spagettieis’ which is an ice cream dish made to resemble a plate of spaghetti. Vanilla ice cream is squeezed into the shape of spaghetti is place over whipped cream. It is then covered in strawberry sauce, made to look like tomato sauce, and then topped with coconut flakes or white chocolate, to represent parmesan cheese! Really delicious!! Carl Phlilip showed us another part of the city Oberkassel, a modern new development with shops and restaurants, where we drank coffee and chatted about our life in England, and his experience when completing his GCSEs in Manchester for a year abroad. He said he liked the English school system better than the German one, which we were all a bit surprised about! Overall, it was so cool to finally meet him and to have the experience of meeting a young German person and to have him show us around his city.

We were all very sad to have to come home, but we are very grateful that we had the amazing opportunity to take part in such a memorable, exciting and educational trip.
Our reflections:
“I think that the trip was great, because not only did it really help to improve my confidence in speaking and accuracy in listening, but it was also really fun! It was very interesting to be surrounded by German culture and I felt that it really helped to develop my understanding of the culture and language. In particular, I really enjoyed having dinner at Frau Schorn’s house. It was very cool to see what a German household looks like and to taste some traditional German food! I also feel that as a class, it was a great bonding experience and I always look forward to my German lessons with my classmates! I really loved making memories with everyone and I am really glad I was able to be a part of this trip.” – Jess
“Being constantly surrounded by the German language meant that I picked up on new vocab, as well as the rhythm of the language. The trip also allowed me to be more independent and motivated me to further develop my German skills. It was an amazing experience which I am grateful to have been offered. For me I found visiting not one, but two schools fascinating, as I saw how their education system worked, and the differences between the two countries.” – Maja
“The German A-Level trip was great, we all had such an amazing time and learnt so much about the culture and everyday life in Düsseldorf. We all became really good friends and made lots of memories. Despite having a lot of fun, the trip has also benefited me in a number of academic ways, including improving my German speaking and listening skills. I think hearing the language intensely for 5 days will really improve my understanding moving forward. Thank you to Mrs Yates and Mr Baldwin for making this trip possible and for making it such an exciting and memorable experience for us all!” – Evie
“I really enjoyed the A level trip to Düsseldorf and I think it was really beneficial to experience everyday life in Germany and I have gained a new appreciation for German culture. We have all learnt new skills we can take forward with us and we have especially improved our German skills! I would like to thank Mrs Yates and Mr Baldwin for making the trip possible, and I am very grateful for the amazing memories I have made.” – Amelie
“I found it really enjoyable to go on the German trip, it was great fun to go interrailing as it was something I’ve never done before. Additionally, it was really good to hear the language in an actual city environment rather than just a classroom – I’ve found that this has really helped my German. Overall, I believe it has been an incredible experience for my learning and I really enjoyed it.” – Luca

On the 6th October the Year 12 Politics students set off to London to visit some of the most important political buildings in the country. After catching a train, bright and early, we arrived at Westminster for our tour of Parliament. We were led by two tour guides, equally witty and insightful. We were stunned at the decorative design of the House of Lords – covered in gold leaf and the famous red leather – howether we made sure not to sit down! Our friendly tour guides talked to us about the job of the Lords and how they become appointed. Next we wandered into the House of Commons where we were informed about where different parties sit and the history of the rebuilding of this half of Parliament. We had time to look at the central lobby of Parliament and its incredible statues, before taking a group picture and saying goodbye to Emmet and Ben – our lovely guides.
After our tour we went to the education centre and took part in a group activity to help us understand the role of the House of Lords and the House of Commons. We were split into teams and debated on the topic of free university education. A big thank you to our group leader Celeste.
After a lunch break in the sun, we headed to the Supreme Court, where we experienced a fascinating exhibition about its history and importance in our government. We read about the compelling stories of minority and female judges paving the way of our country’s legal system before having a chance to look around the courts themselves – where we took a group picture. Overall we think everyone would agree this day was both informative and fun,
We would like to say a big thankyou to Miss Chandler and Mr Spurgeon for organizing this wonderful day and ensuring everybody got there and back safely.

In July, six teams set off to experience the spectacular sights of Iceland. This adventure of a lifetime saw our students discover geysers and thundering waterfalls in the Golden Circle, trek past volcanic peaks in Kerlingarfjoll, get hands-on with a conservation initiative (beach clean-up) and visit the Westman Islands and the South Coast. The students were driven along Europe’s biggest ice cap, Vatnajokull. This national park is an extraordinary sight, with 30 glaciers flowing out from the ice cap. The students even had the opportunity to strap on some crampons and walk on a glacier. We are very proud of our students who worked well in their teams, stepped out of their comfort zones and learnt a wealth of invaluable new skills while making some extraordinary memories.
Here are some wonderful photos from this amazing trip …
After 3 years of not being able to participate in school trips, 100 Year 8 pupils and 12 members of staff took part in a very successful and extremely enjoyable four-day French Trip to the Opal Coast.
Two coaches of pupils and teachers left Presdales School early on Monday morning and, after taking the ferry from Dover to Calais, arrived safely at their destination in Boulogne-sur-mer. They made their first visit of the trip to ‘Nausicaa’, which is the largest aquarium in Europe specialising in scientific discovery of the marine environment. Students enjoyed taking selfies next to the sharks and rays and they were also inspired by Mrs Harmer to create a photographic alphabet spelling the word “FRANCE”.
We then made our way to our accommodation and it was already time for dinner. We shared the large dining hall with a group of older French tourists who were keen to stop me and comment on several occasions on our students’ excellent manners at the table. Later in the evening, the students grouped together to do some language work in preparation for the next day’s activities.
They were very excited about the planned activities for the second day which began with a trip to the sophisticated coastal town of Le Touquet. After spending some time running down the sandy dunes of the beautiful beach, we all enjoyed wandering around the town. Students could finally put all their classroom role-play activities into practice ordering food and doing a bit of shopping. I was so impressed with the positive and enthusiastic attitude of so many of them and I thoroughly enjoyed walking around town meeting students who would ask me: “Miss, how do you say…?” and who would then go on to tell me in great details everything they had just said in French!
The afternoon entailed a visit to ‘Les Escargots du Bocage’, a snail farm, situated in the nearby countryside. Students were firstly given a presentation followed by a tour of the farm and were then invited to sit and taste snails prepared in garlic butter in a pastry shell as well as a homemade jam, made from a variety of fruit grown on the farm. Despite initial reservations, many tasted the snails and most were pleasantly surprised, with some even going back for seconds!
On the third day, students enjoyed swimming and going down the huge slide at the Hélicéa aquatic centre before an afternoon visit to ‘Auchan’, a hypermarket and shopping arcade, where they were each given some Euros to complete a shopping task. This involved buying something typically French to take home and share with their families. That evening, students were keen to take part in a ‘show and tell’ about their shopping task purchases and finish completing their trip booklets.
The staff at the accommodation commented on our students’ excellent behaviour and their efforts to ask questions in French. They were particularly impressed with their pronunciation!
Such a successful trip would not be possible without the proactive and positive attitude of a dream team of school staff and the meticulous organisation of Mme Rowe. As well as a fantastic eye opener for the 100 Year 8 students, it was also a unique opportunity for them to shine outside of the classroom.
A l’année prochaine!

Some feedback from parents and students regarding the Year 8 Opal Coast French trip 2023
Lovely trip, she really enjoyed the experience and it has given her confidence with her studies, especially speaking French. Thanks so much to all the staff who made this such an enjoyable trip.
The trip was well planned and there was a good balance of work, free time and activities.
The preparation was very good. All of the information on the slide presentation was excellent. If we couldn’t have come in to the school, it would still have contained everything needed. The trip itself was well organised and all of the arranged excursions were very enjoyable. The hotel was nice. The food, on the whole was good, but the options for vegetarians were quite limited. Overall a very good trip and would definitely recommend it to next years’ Year 8.
The best part of the trip was water park visit. Snail farm was an interesting experience. Accommodation was all right. Food was good.
Opal coast was a great trip. It was an amazing chance for me to discover the French speaking world and participate by speaking to shop assistants/workers when shopping. The accommodation was really nice and I enjoyed the activities we did.
Thank you to all of the staff that organised and went on the trip – it was well organised before and during the trip with good communication. We are glad that these experiences are now available again. R reported back that she liked the accommodation, although she wished she had taken a full sized pillow from home! She enjoyed the activities also – and she had a good amount of free time. She can’t think of anything that could be improved (except perhaps the meal on the last day!). Thank you once again.
I found that it was a good trip, very windy though, the aquarium was really interesting seeing all the different types of fish and the coral too. The snails were really tasty and the shopping centres were fun. The accommodation was very nice too and the meals there were very nice from the breakfast to the packed lunch to the dinner.
The French trip was an amazing experience that I loved. I especially liked the aquarium.
I really liked all the activities, especially the waterpark, aquarium and visiting the town. I like getting to use French. Sometimes I didn’t like the food at the house but it was OK. I really liked the whole trip, it was a great experience. Thank you to all the teachers who gave up their time! It was a brilliant way to end the year! Thank you!

We left school for Berlin at 2pm on Wednesday and arrived at our hotel at midnight.
Our trip began with a tour around some of Berlin’s most famous sights, led by Mr Spurgeon. We visited the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, Night of the Long Knives Memorial, the Roma Sinti memorial, the Holocaust memorial, Hitler’s bunker and the Topography of Terror. These are all things that we learnt about during our history lessons and in Holocaust memorial assemblies, but visiting the memorials and the Topography of Terror really instilled it in me how the Nazis believed that they were a superior race and what they were doing was justified. Seeing the memorials and about how many different groups were persecuted reminded me how this happened in the not-so-distant past, and the risks of it happening again. Our day continued with a tour by TCBC guides, we visited more places including the Tiergarten to see the T4 and homosexual memorials, Gendarmenmarkt, Bebelplatz, Lustgarten, and the reconstructed palace. We had an amazing tour guide who taught about us lots of different aspects of Germany in the 20th Century e.g., the book burning that took place at Bebelplatz in 1933 where Nazi students burnt around 20,000 books by authors that the Nazis didn’t like. We finished the day with a trip to a lovely Italian restaurant and a round of bowling.
On Friday, we went to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, Plötzensee Prison, and had a tour around the Jewish quarters of Berlin. These were all led by the TCBC guides, who were very highly knowledgeable about everything that we visited. At Sachsenhausen, we saw the rooms where prisoners would have to stay, learnt about the jobs they had to do and the different methods the Nazis had for killing people, not just the gas chambers. In our tour of the Jewish Quarters with visited the Hackeschen Höfe and saw the workshop owned by Otto Weidt, who mainly employed deaf and blind Jews and did everything he could to protect them against the anti-Jewish measures. One of my highlights from the tour were the Stumbling Stones, they are all around Europe and they are to remember people who were persecuted by the Nazis. The stones have the person’s name, birth year, what happened to them e.g., deportation to Theresienstadt, and when they died. I had heard of them before but never realised how many they were. Although there are lots of memorials to the groups persecuted, I like the Stumbling Stones as although they are little, they tell the stories of thousands of people. In the evening, we had time to go shopping and then went to see the new Spiderman film – Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse.
On Saturday, we finished our trip by visiting Hohenschönhausen which is a former Stasi-Prison so linked to our Cold War topic. We then went to Berlin Olympic Park and got a tour of the stadium. I found it interesting to see how they have removed the Nazi paraphernalia but still embrace the history of what happened in the 1936 Olympics. They have done this by having the Jesse Owens Lounge and the coloured stones that were Swastikas have been rotated to create different patterns; they are still shadows of what was there. After this we headed to deportation track 17, which has stone slabs to commemorate how many Jews were deported each day.
It was an amazing trip and will be very helpful as we continue our studies on Weimar and Nazi Germany and then move onto the Cold War. The thing I found most interesting was how they have embraced the history without making memorial sights neo-Nazi pilgrimages or completely ignoring the horrific events that happened in Germany during the 20th Century.

I am delighted to finally be able to achieve a long-awaited mosaic project. It began with putting a proposal together to ‘The Arts Society East Herts’ for funding to decorate a very old wooden pergola outside the art rooms.
We were delighted when this was accepted and we could begin our journey of enhancing the school environment with vibrant colourful mosaics based on elements adding splashes of colour.
Thanks must go to the fantastic local Mosaic Artist, Claire Costello, whom I had the pleasure of working with at her home studio a few years ago. We discussed the idea of artist-in-residence at Presdales and now it’s a reality.
The students have been totally absorbed and committed to this project, developing self-confidence, team-building skills and pure enjoyment creating designs. They have said how the project has helped with their well-being and self-esteem.
We are so proud of all the students involved and look forward to being able to share and celebrate their artwork with the whole school. We are five weeks in and very close to finishing – we just need to grout and then put the tiles up in place.
A huge thank you to Claire for her support and enthusiasm. And a big thank you to all involved at Presdales for making my idea a reality.
Finally, thank you to the fabulous students – you have done an amazing job, truly inspiring!
A wonderful end to the summer term.

Well, that was quite a visit, and, in truth, I am not entirely sure it wasn’t just some crazy dream sequence we all experienced collectively. Previously, as reported in the Head’s update, we have never got beyond the door at No.10 before going on to Parliament, but this time we found ourselves on our trip shaking hands with the PM’s wife and eating our packed lunches on the state dining table.
As well as getting a tour which took in the famous staircase with all the prime ministers’ portraits (which features in ‘Love Actually’) and the Cabinet Room with the feted oval-shaped table, we also had a Q&A session with Mrs Murty and officials (civil servants and ‘spads’) who work for the Prime Minister. We learned a lot.
For example:
We learned how “Downing Street” got its name. (It was built by Sir George Downing who was a political operator at the time of the English Civil War – siding sometimes with the King and sometimes with Parliament. No.10 is effectively 3 houses joined together by the architect William Kent and gifted to the Prime Minister of the day by the Crown)
We learned the difference between a ‘spad’ (special advisor) and a civil servant. (Civil servants are neutral, work for any government and don’t change – spads change with the politicians and are not paid for out of taxpayers money)
We learned that speech writers have to be very adaptable in how they work with PMs (David Cameron always operated person to person and never touched a keyboard whereas it wasn’t uncommon for Gordon Brown to send 100 emails a day)
We learned that Rishi’s Media spad had a passion for cheerleading when she was young, and
We also learned that Rishi and Akshata met while they were studying at Stanford University in the States and that he proposed to her on a beach in California where a Scottish bagpiper played.
The trip round Parliament seemed a little more subdued than normal in comparison, although the political aficionados among us spotted that the group in front was being lead round by John McConnell (Jeremy Corbyn’s ex-shadow chancellor). We also subsequently had another Q&A with Lord Aberdare in the parliamentary education unit before returning home at 7pm.
It was a long day!!
