What a way to finish

What a way to finish our French adventure at MCF!

From exploring a local market and creating delicious lunches, to meeting French pen pals and practising language skills, our pupils embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm, confidence and outstanding manners.

There were awards to celebrate achievements, brave attempts at tasting escargot 🐌, and plenty of singing and dancing at the disco to round off a memorable final evening.

We are incredibly proud of how the children have represented Ashley Manor throughout the trip. They have been fantastic ambassadors and have created memories that will last a lifetime. We are incredibly grateful to Alex and Mark and the team Maison Claire Fontaine for another memorable trip - we'll see you again next year!
