We firmly believe in the value of enriched learning outside of the classroom and we organise a wide range of trips, expeditions and visits; locally, nationally and internationally. These range in length from a half day field visit, perhaps to Festival Place, to week in the Alps skiing. They also include sporting fixtures, adventurous activities and recreational activities.
Whilst costs are kept to a minimum the school is reliant on voluntary contributions to cover the costs of trips; sometimes trips have to be cancelled if there are insufficient voluntary contributions to fund the costs of the trip. No child is restricted from taking part through an individual inability to pay. For more information please contact the Finance Team.
All of our trips and visits are organised under the guidance framework recommended by Hampshire Local Authority.
