Mr Hertout (French Teacher, Head of Franklin)

For the first time ever, the Houses faced a new challenge: find the accursed Book of the Dead and escape from the haunted House.

All Houses took a little while to figure out the logic of the puzzles at first but after cracking the first code, everything started to fall into place and the race was on! 

Teamwork, dedication and observation were essential to progress, and Chanel proved the most apt team in this respect, getting out of the House comfortably ahead. Austen and Hepburn followed suit whilst Nightingale, Franklin and Parks finished almost at the same time and were declared joint fourth. Nearly 40 girls took up the challenge and can look forward to next year’s adventure: finding the pirates’ treasure!
