Trips
We offer a wide variety of residential trips - some are standard 'fixtures' in the school calendar while some are of a more 'one-off' nature. All are dependent on having staff willing to organise them and, of course, parents willing to support them!

We aim to offer a range of trips at different costs to allow for varying financial circumstances.
Please note that the above costs are based on the previous year's trip. We will confirm this year's trip costs, on a trip by trip basis, once they are launched and available for booking.
Students are expected to behave on trips as they would in school. They are also expected to be prepared in terms of the necessary skills, resilience and attitude. The school reserves the right to not take students on trips who have demonstrated that they have not met the above requirements, either in school or on previous trips. Where there is over-demand for a trip, then staff reserve the right to use the above to create a waiting list.
