School Trips

Trips and Visits: Looking ahead to next year

School trips and visits are always a memorable and rewarding part of a young person's education.  Most adults can usually remember at least one school trip in their youth, even when class lessons are quite hard to recall.  With this in mind, we like to let families know about the trips that might come up in the year so there is time to plan ahead.

We know from parents' feedback that trips can be expensive and tricky to budget for and we want to assure you that all our trips are run as cost-effectively as possible.  We always shop around for the best prices from companies, and if there is any money left over at the end, we always return that to families once the trip is over and all the bills are paid.  We also have some government funding that can be used to support costs for families in financial hardship.

We try to offer a range of trips: low-cost day trips; longer experiences connected to examination subjects, and leisure experiences during holiday times.  Have a look at the list and consider if you would like to plan ahead for your child to participate.
