The students at City College Coventry enjoyed a thrilling day out at Drayton Manor amusement park. After a short forty minute journey the students arrived at Drayton Manor and bravely went on rides such as Apocalypse, Maelstrom, G-Force and Shockwave. For the students who could not face these rides there were always some which were less scary – the Thomas the Tank engine ride was particularly popular with some students. Overall the students had an amazing fun packed day.

Warwick Castle is an ancient castle which dates back to 1068. Being only 30 minutes drive from City College Coventry it is an ideal day out for the students. The students experienced what it was like to live in the castle over hundreds of years. They also learnt about the gruesome torture chambers under the castle, and the more courageous students followed the ghost trail and met the resident ghosts in the castle.  After this we all enjoyed a walk around historic Warwick and had a relaxing drink and chat in one of the local pubs.

The International students and the ESOL students joined up to enjoy an amazing afternoon of fun and games in the War Memorial Park.
