Sixth Form English - Year 12 AS English trip to Whitby February 2009.


The year 12 AS English group and two of their teachers Miss Ashe and Mr Chinery, recently visited the seaside town of Whitby in the North East of England. This was a valuable part of their course as they are studying Dracula by Bram Stoker which is partly set in Whitby.

The students stayed in the Abbey high up on the cliffs of Whitby where they sampled the local specialties of world famous fish and chips as well as a night time tour of Whitby with a Dracula expert.

The trip wasn't all fun and games though, as well as a six hour trip by coach from London to Whitby (and the same to get home again) the students were expected to write a 2000 word essay based on Dracula.

The trip was a resounding success and was enjoyed by both staff and students as you can see from the photos linked below.
