Trips and Visits

We believe that the curriculum should not be constrained to lesson time, and that all students should have enrichment opportunities to support or stretch their learning, to enhance their life experience and simply for leisure and enjoyment.


All students have access to application for extra-curricular trips and educational visits including foreign and British residentials, ski and sports trips, visits to enhance the curriculum including our innovative modular curriculum, fieldwork and sports fixtures.  All trips and visits are published well in advance and are accompanied with a payment plan to support students in accessing these opportunities. Although some may be targeted at students with particular interests or abilities, or part of particular option or curriculum areas, many are open to all pupils. Financial support is available to pupils who are currently eligible for free school meals.


Typical residentials / trips abroad include:


  • KS3 Paris Languages and Normandy residential
  • Iceland Science residential
  • Year 8 / 9 Geneva Maths and Science residential (alternate years)
  • Sports team weekend residentials (various)
  • Year 8-11 Ski Trip (alternate years)
  • Year 9 London Theatre Trip
  • Year 10 and Year 11 fieldwork in Geography
  • Key Stage Four French and Spanish enhancement

Day trips and visits enhance every area of the curriculum and details are available in our newsletters and in letters regularly sent home. These include but are not limited to:


  • Local curriculum visits and volunteering
  • More and Most Able trips and competitions
  • Themed day trips (E.g. Shakespeare trip, Maths coding at Bletchley Park, DNA Science Trip, Warwick Castle visit, Beth Shalom Trip, Opera Trips, Theatre Trips, University visits, Arts Award visits, ASDAN visits)
  • Local trips as part of the modules enrichment programme, including Space Centre, Guildhall, Museums, and local places of worship.
  • Local visits to Primary schools as part of Leadership curriculum or outreach and transition programmes
  • Christmas Carol Service
