Visiting Bletchley Park

We’re fortunate to have the incredible Bletchley Park Trust on our doorstep here in Buckinghamshire. It meant an opportunity for a fascinating day out for our Year 7 pupils, as they explored the world of wartime codebreaking.

The visit included a guided tour and a hands-on workshop, Interception to Intelligence: The Battle of the Atlantic, to bring their Maths and History studies to life. Even the minibus tried to keep us guessing at the end of the day by refusing to start! Fortunately, teamwork and a quick jump lead ensured we cracked that code too!

Our pupils were a credit to our school, engaged, and full of thoughtful questions throughout the day. Their sterling behaviour attracted numerous positive comments from Bletchley Park tour guides and visitors alike.

Through trips like these, we open doors to new experiences and fresh perspectives. From discovering new passions to developing talents and confidence, we encourage our pupils to be curious and embrace every opportunity that comes their way.

Well done, Year 7, for representing Swanbourne House so superbly.
