Students take to slopes

Seventy-two students and staff from Hanham Woods Academy embarked on a skiing adventure during the half-term break.

The group travelled approximately 1,600 kilometres across six countries in a 29-hour journey to Bormio, Italy.

Over the course of the week, the students received expert ski tuition, improving their skills while enjoying alpine scenery.

The trip provided an opportunity for students to challenge themselves, build confidence, and create lasting memories with their peers.

A spokesperson said: “It was a long journey, but the excitement never faded.

“Our students and staff were eager to hit the slopes and make the most of this incredible experience.

“For many, this is their first time skiing, and Bormio provided the perfect setting to learn, challenge themselves, and create unforgettable memories.”
