The children had a fantastic time during their visit to Sutton Hoo!

They began with an informative tour of the burial site, learning all about its fascinating history. Everyone enjoyed climbing to the top of the viewing tower to take in the brilliant views over the mounds and across to Woodbridge and the River Deben.

Afterwards, the children explored the museum and exhibits, trying on Anglo-Saxon clothing and marvelling at the incredible craftsmanship of the artefacts on display. Following a well-earned lunch, they set off on a rune trail through the woods, which was the perfect way to end the day.

Our National Trust guide praised the group, describing the children as “impeccably behaved” and “a credit to the school.”

It was a brilliant trip, and the knowledge and inspiration the children have gained will be a wonderful foundation for their upcoming Anglo-Saxon learning after half term.
