Year 12 Students Explore UCL and Beyond

An inspiring day in London, exploring UCL, the Wellcome Collection, and an escape room challenge.

The Escape Room Challenge

Year 12 put their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test in an exciting escape room challenge, successfully completing their mission with minutes to spare.

Year 12 students enjoyed an inspiring and action-packed day in central London, beginning with a guided tour of University College London (UCL). They explored the campus of one of the world’s leading universities, gaining valuable insight into university life and the experience of studying in London.

At the Wellcome Collection, they engaged with fascinating exhibitions on water usage, the human body, and deafness, sparking thoughtful discussion and curiosity.

The day ended on a high with an exciting escape room challenge, where students worked as secret agents to solve puzzles and complete missions. Demonstrating teamwork, communication, and creativity under pressure, the winning team triumphed with five minutes to spare!
