What a fantastic second day we've had in Ypres!

Students began the day with a visit to Tyne Cot Cemetery, where they reflected thoughtfully on the battles of Ypres and the sacrifices made during the First World War.

Next, we stepped into history at the Passchendaele Museum, where students experienced a taste of life in the trenches through its immersive exhibits.

In the afternoon, we visited Hill 62 and the Sanctuary Wood Museum, offering yet another poignant insight into the realities of the Western Front.

After some well-earned shopping time in Ypres, the group gathered at the Menin Gate to witness the Last Post Memorial Ceremony. Our students observed the act of remembrance with the utmost respect, and we were honoured to have two students lay a wreath on behalf of Lees Brook Academy.

Throughout the day, our students have been nothing short of outstanding receiving praise from shopkeepers, hotel staff, and our coach driver for their impeccable behaviour and attitude.

The staff on the trip couldn’t be prouder. It’s been a privilege to see Lees Brook represented so positively here in Belgium.
