ROYAL School students have been busy perfecting their ski and science skills.

Pupils from prep year five to year 11 enjoyed a week in Montgenèvre in France.

Teacher David Guest said: “We were treated to the best snow conditions that European ski resort during the Easter holidayss have seen in years, with perfect skiing conditions and all pistes and lifts open.

“Montgenèvre proved to be an ideal resort for both beginners, with its long sweeping green and blue runs, as well as more advanced skiers, with a wide range of red and black runs, plus boarder crosses and accessible off-piste ‘squirrel runs’.

“It was a joy to see the improvement that all skiers made throughout the week and the looks of pure happiness on their faces certainly made the trip worthwhile.”
