Oldfield Brow Primary School, May 2025

After enjoying their first tour in May 2024, the friendship between Oldfield Brow Primary School and Ecole Caubriere Honfleur continued in May 2025. During their stay, the visiting group spent a full day with their French friends both at the school and around Honfleur. After a welcome session with croissants and juice, the children spent time together in classrooms before heading across the road to rehearse their musical items. Oldfield Brow’s school choir joined forces with Ecole Caubriere’s brass band for a fun selection of pieces based around a ‘monsters’ theme!

After lunch at the canteen, the whole group went off to explore Honfleur, making it all the way to the beach! The day was completed with a concert given to the French parents and live-streamed to the English parents, then dinner at a creperie restaurant next to the port.

The next day was spent with a combination of the market morning in Bayeux followed by the Chateau Guillaume Le Conquerant in Falaise.

Dates are set for 2026, and Ecole Caubriere are planning a return trip to Oldfield Brow for 2027.
