Year 9 Explore London

The whole of Year 9 explored London in style this term from the comfort of a Duck tour!  We were searching for evidence of globalisation in London.

We found lots of evidence that links London to other places around the world...we spoke to tourists visiting London, saw many global brands and gathered evidence that showed London has many business links around the world.

It was a great experience for us all, we saw all the famous sights of London and even went alone the river in the 'Duck' bus!

We saw first-hand how London is a complex city with connections all over the world.

Barcelona

21 students with 4 teachers and an expert!  
Today saw the first day of data collection - we were looking at the quality of life in El Raval and how flagship projects help to regenerate urban areas.  Amanjot found Zone 4 really interesting because it showed a real contrast with Zone 3. Saif found the whole experience of observing and recording his impressions systematically really invaluable.

It's now 5:45 pm and we are waiting for our evening session to start... Geography field trips may look like fun... but we do work hard!!!

Tomorrow its the beach!

Mozambique Trip 2011

Throughout the last academic year a group of sixth form students worked extremely hard to raise over £22,000 to travel to Mozambique and build homes for orphans and vulnerable children with Habitat for Humanity.  They raised the money by charity bag packing, organising events at school. taking part in a sponsored cycle and much more.

In July 2011 they travelled to Mozambique and helped build two much needed homes.  The children and their grandparents had been living in cramped, leaking inadequate homes like the ones below.  

The money raised by Lampton School has meant that they now have a save and secure place to live.  Thank you to everyone who helped, your contribution has helped transform the lives of the children the students met in Mozambique.
