3 March 2026 North Gosforth AcademySki Trip Success
In the final week ahead of the February half term, North Gosforth Academy students travelled to Andorra and spent a full-on week in the Pyrenees, with many skiing for the very first time. We were so impressed by their enthusiasm, resilience and the way they represented the school. Even after 4 hours of skiing each day, they kept pushing themselves, supporting each other, and ending every session with big smiles.
Off the slopes, students explored the area, practised their Spanish, and ended the week with a fun disco and awards ceremony. We're thrilled to hear how much they enjoyed the trip, and how many are already excited for the next one!
A fantastic week of new experiences, new skills, and unforgettable memories.
