This week, we were excited to welcome Francesca from The Excelsior Trust to speak in Chapel about their incredible adventure sail training experiences.

Excelsior is an award-winning non-profit organisation that offers young people the chance to embark on unforgettable sailing journeys aboard a fully restored 1921-built Lowestoft fishing smack. With space for up to 12 voyagers, Excelsior sails across the UK’s North Sea coast, the Faroes, the Baltic Sea, and mainland Europe, taking part in the prestigious Tall Ships. Current Sixth Form pupil, Olga, reencountered adventures of her sailing in the Tall Ships Race with Excelsior.

We hope this exciting and eye-opening talk has inspired more pupils to take part and set sail with Excelsior.
