Twenty four students went on an incredible three night residential trip to Sorrento in the Easter holiday. Students visited the iconic sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum where they were given extensive knowledge of the sites by expert guides. Students understood the different effects that resulted in the 79AD eruption witnessing the bodies that have been preserved as a result of the pyroclastic flows. They visited other archaeological sites and went into the picturesque town of Sorrento and around the Port. On the last day they visited Vesuvius which dominates the Gulf of Naples. Students walked to the immense crater rim and were able to take in the surroundings and the potential risk faced by the one million people living in the shadow. Students were enthusiastic and inquisitive about the different sites, enjoyed the Italian food and were exceptional ambassadors for Causeway School. +

Just before the Easter holidays we held our first Year 11 Prom Fayre. We had a great turn out from our Year 11’s who came along to watch their fellow students present a fashion show, showcasing the latest Prom wear. We are very grateful to all the local companies attedning who organised everything from suit hire, limousine supply, photography and flowers. They also supplied prizes for our raffle which was drawn at the end of the night. Our Year 11 Prom will be held on Friday 13th July at the Cavendish Hotel, Eastbourne. Year 11 students can now book their place at the main school reception. +
