On Monday 14th July, All Saints came alive with the colours, culture, and creativity of France as we celebrated Bastille Day, the French national holiday. The day was packed with activities that brought a little piece of France into every corner of the school.

Students enjoyed a lively boules competition, posed for fun snapshots in a French-themed photo booth, and were treated to a special French menu in the canteen. Across departments, staff delivered creative and engaging lessons linking their subjects to French culture, history, and achievements.

In Science, students explored the work of pioneering French scientists; Maths lessons highlighted the legacy of René Descartes. RE classes looked at French saints, while History focused on the events of the French Revolution and the origins of Bastille Day. PE celebrated French sporting stars like Victor Wembanyama, recently drafted into the NBA.

Music featured French artists across genres, and Geography lessons mapped out France’s terrain and mountain ranges, including Mont Blanc. English lessons explored literary links between France and the UK, and MFL ran a Bastille Day quiz. Food Tech looked at iconic French cuisine and the country’s world-renowned food industry. Art students learned about influential French artists, and Drama celebrated the tradition of mime and modern French cinema.

A huge thank you to all staff who contributed to this wonderful celebration!
