Did You Know Hu in Vietnam was the Imperial Capital for 143 Years from 1802 to 1945 under the Nguyn Dynasty? It was also the political, cultural, and religious centre of the nation and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. Several of our lucky History students have been on an exciting trip to Vietnam where they have been able to soak in the history, sample the culture, food and customs of the ancient country while gaining a deeper appreciation for Vietnam's vibrant past and living traditions. A plethora of exciting international trips have also been taking place elsewhere. Further students have been able to visit China, Finland and Germany where they have broadened their horizons and made lifelong memories. A huge thanks to our amazing staff and partners who have made these adventures possible! #ReadingSchool #WeAreRedingensians #ReadingSchoolCommunity #schooltrip #MFL #history

What a fantastic start to our Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Qualifier Expedition! Our teams of students arrived at camp eager to pitch their tents and cook up their dinner. From perfecting putting their tents up to swapping recipe tips over the stove, their teamwork, resilience and cando spirit shone through every step of the way. A huge well done to all our students for embracing the challenge, looking out for one another and making memories that will last a lifetime. #ReadingSchool #WeAreRedingensians #DofE #BronzeQualifiers #OutdoorLearning #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork
