The adventure began with a very early start, as students departed school at 2am and even managed to watch the England game on the coach journey south. ### A Day at Wimbledon Arriving at Wimbledon at around 10am, the group had time to explore the grounds and visit the shops before the day's tennis action began. Students watched two Round 4 Ladies' Singles matches, followed by mixed doubles action, before joining the crowds on the famous hill to watch Fery compete. The visit provided a fantastic opportunity to witness top-level sport in an iconic setting and experience the unique atmosphere of The Championships. ### Exploring London On the second day, students visited Covent Garden and Leicester Square, taking time to explore the shops and enjoy the performances of the street entertainers before beginning the journey home. The trip was a wonderful opportunity for students and staff to experience elite sport while also exploring some of London's most famous locations. ![](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/images/746385216_1449270733887201_752818347721007591_n.jpg) [Trips](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/trips) [ St John's Weekly News - 13 July 2026](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/news/2026-07-13-st-john-s-weekly-news-13-july-2026) [Celebrating Two Fantastic Terms Across BHCET ](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/news/2026-07-15-celebrating-two-fantastic-terms-across-bhcet-20) ### Events & News - [Key Dates](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/key-dates) - [News](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/news) - [Newsletters](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/newsletters) - [Term Dates](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/term-dates) ![St John's Catholic School & Sixth Form College](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-catholic-school-sixth-form-college-3/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St John's Catholic School & Sixth Form College Woodhouse Lane Bishop Auckland County Durham DL14 6JT 01388 603246 01388 609988 - [About](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/our-school) - [Documents](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/our-documents) - [Events](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/key-dates) - [Links](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/links) - [Vacancies](https://bhcet.org.uk/job-vacancies) - [Contact](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/contact) - [Sport](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/sport-p-e) - [Privacy Notices](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/privacy-notices) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stjohnsrc/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/st_johns_eagle/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St John's Catholic School & Sixth Form College School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stjohns.bhcet.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
