DOZENS of students from Pershore High School have enjoyed an exchange trip to Germany.

37 students and four staff made the return exchange visit to the school's partner school, Werner von Siemens Realschule, in Bad Neustadt.

The trip was led by teacher Ivan Crouchley and students spent a week with host families and enjoyed numerous activities.

These included a trip to the Franconian cities of Bamberg and Würzburg, a guided tour and cross-country skiing lesson at the former East German winter sports centre of Oberhof, a white knuckle bobsleigh ride down the Wasserkuppe and a visit to the former East/West border control at Point Alpha in the Fulda Gap.

The link between the two schools has been in place for more than 25 years.
