We returned to Hope School at 11.45pm! Although our flight was delayed for 2 hours, many people travelling on our airplane commented on how well the pupils behaved.

Hope everyone had a great time! Huge thanks to the British School of Amsterdam for helping to organise the trip and hosting us so superbly.

On the last day we went or a bike ride in the Amsterdamse Bos. On the way bacvk, we had a peek inside the stadium built or the 1928 Olympic Games. (Two lesser known facts about the 1928 Games. 1) It was the first Olympic Games to feature the Olympic Torch, and 2) It was the first games which Coca Cola was a sponsor)

What’s it like going to school at the British School of Amsterdam

amsterdam2007 — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 07:57:48 +0000

Hope School children spent the morning in lessons with British School of Amsterdam pupils. Our pupils were spread around five classes to find out more about living in the Netherlands.

How do lessons in the British School of Amsterdam compare to Hope School? How different was it?
