The visit to Bremerhaven is part of the annual German exchange which takes place over two legs. Students in Year 8 and 9 make contact with students of the Lloydgymnasium in Bremerhaven over the summer term by completing personal profiles and sending emails. The German students visit Saffron Walden in the following autumn term with our return visit taking place at the end of the Easter holidays.

Students are able to improve their spoken German, experience life in Germany at first hand and establish close relationships with German students of their own age. Above all the trip abroad encourages our students to become more independent and responsible and facilitates learning that would be impossible within the confines of a classroom.
