Language trip to France
Le Chateau de la Baudonnière: This is a new venture for some of our GCSE and A level students who will be spending a week at the centre in October 2009. The emphasis is on full linguistic immersion through a programme of activities and adventure (Climbing, Assault Course, Fencing, Bread making, Photography, Archery, Orienteering, Circus Skills & More!), and excursions. Evening entertainment adds to the experience and discovery of French culture.
The centre is situated in Normandy just at the base of the Cherbourg peninsula about 6 Kilometers north of the Cathedral city of Avranches. Students will experience first hand the natural beauty of the area and the 100 acre estate with lakes, rivers and native woodland.

Language trip to Valencia in Spain
As part of our ongoing “e-twinning” programme with IES Sivera Font de Canals secondary school in Spain, a group of Kingsbridge students in Years 10 to 12 will be spending a week in October living with Spanish pupils, attending school, and getting to know the local area.
The Spanish pupils will be coming to Kingsbridge for the “return leg” next March. IES Sivera Font de Canals is situated in Alcúdia de Crespins, near to the historic town of Xátiva and within half an hour of Valencia. An exciting programme of excursions has been drawn up, and the trip promises to give the group a unique insight into life in Spain while, of course, helping their fluency and confidence in Spanish
