Just crossed the Thelwall viaduct

Estimate 2240 at school. 

Arrival back at school 2245

We have arrived back at school. Miss Ladbrook would like to say a big thank you to all the staff and the girls for making it a thoroughly enjoyable trip , where everyone was well behaved ( including the staff ! ) and represented the school very well. 

All the staff would like to thank all the girls for making the trip a good one and they would like to say how well everyone did with the skiing and evening events. Good luck in your tests to the year 10 girls that took work with them and worked hard in the evenings. 

Best wishes and good luck to Athena at her new school from everyone on the trip. 

It was a pleasure to look after you all and we hope you attend future school ski trips.

Revised arrival estimate at school 2240

Assuming the roadworks near the M56 don't hold us up too much we estimate arrival at school to be 2240. Further update to follow if arrival time estimate changes. 

Estimated arrival at MTGS around 2245

Based on current progress and traffic reports we estimate arrival at school around 22:45. Updates will be given when 1 hour away and 30 minutes away from school. 

We are now on the M25 car park heading to M40

Day 6 Advanced beginners group






Day 6 Intermediate group



Final day evening farewell meeting.

After returning all our boots and skis, (no mean feat for 51 girls and staff) we returned to the hotel to start to pack and have dinner. 



After dinner the staff and pupils gathered to thank each other for the trip. Staff emphasised how well behaved the girls were and how it was a pleasure to look after them for a week. 

The staff also complimented the girls on the amazing progress they all made with their skiing during the week. 

Then a touching tribute was paid to Athena by Mrs Wadsworth and then by Miss Ladbrook and best wishes were sent from all the staff and on behalf of Mrs Robinson via Mrs Wadsworth. Then Athena's friends paid a wonderful tribute to her and wished her well at her future school. 






















Miss Taylor's deck chair failed !
