We are thrilled to be able to offer the second phase of day trips and in school activities for 15th to 19th July 2024. Activities Week provides every student in Years 7, 8 and 9 with the opportunity to mix with other students outside of their normal circle of friends, try new experiences, access cultural opportunities, learn new skills and make memories to share with their friends and families.
The activities cover a range of interests on each day. Some have an additional cost and some ask for a £5 donation toward resources, to ensure students have a positive experience. The leadership team and governors of the school underline the personal and social educational value of these visits and activities.
Students are invited to choose from a comprehensive offer of residential and day activities for everyone to join. For details of this year’s programme a brief outline can be found here: Activities Week day options. Please submit your choices by February 18th.
