As part of our KS4 programme, pupils had the opportunity to explore the rich cultural and natural heritage of Rhodes during a recent 3-day educational visit organised by the Head of Year 11 and the Head of Greek.
Highlights of the trip included a guided tour of the medieval Old Town of Rhodes, featuring landmarks such as the Acropolis of Rhodes, the Palace of the Grand Masters, and the historic Street of the Knights. Pupils also visited the ancient site of Lindos, where they explored the Acropolis and the Temple of Athena, as well as the picturesque village below.
The group enjoyed a relaxing visit to the Kallithea Thermal Springs, renowned for their natural beauty and historic architecture, and spent time at the unique Valley of the Butterflies. Other memorable stops included the interactive Farma of Rhodes Petting Zoo and the tranquil Seven Springs nature reserve, a hidden gem known for its lush greenery, waterfall, and scenic walking paths.
This immersive experience allowed pupils to deepen their understanding of Greek history, culture, and the natural environment, while also building lasting memories with their peers. It was a truly enjoyable trip for everyone involved—with both pupils and teachers relishing the chance to explore, learn, and spend time together in such a beautiful and historically rich setting. The combination of educational value and shared experiences made it a memorable highlight of the school year.
