Trips and Events
Trips and events are a fantastic way to learn outside the classroom. They offer unique experiences that can't be replicated in a textbook or classroom.
Here are some of the key benefits of trips and visits:
- Enrichment: Trips and visits can enrich your learning by providing real-world examples of the concepts you study in class. For example, a visit to a museum can bring history to life, while a trip to a factory can show you how science and technology are applied in the real world.
- Inspiration: Trips and visits can inspire you to explore new interests and passions. Seeing different places and cultures can broaden your horizons and help you develop a global perspective.
- Teamwork and collaboration: Trips and visits often involve working with your classmates and teachers in new and exciting ways. This can help you develop important teamwork and collaboration skills.
- Fun and Excitement: Trips and visits are a great way to have fun and make memories. They can be a break from the routine of everyday school life and a chance to relax and enjoy yourself.
What can you expect?
The experiences you'll have on a trip or visit will vary depending on the destination and the purpose of the trip. However, you can generally expect to:
- Learn new things: Trips and visits are a great opportunity to learn about different cultures, history, science, and other subjects.
- See new places: You'll get to explore new and exciting locations, both near and far.
- Meet new people: You'll have the chance to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures.
- Have fun: Trips and visits are a great way to have fun and make memories.

British Science Week is a ten-day national celebration of science, technology and maths. The theme varies each year; in 2025 it is 'Adapt and Change'. Students across the school participate in a range of events such as experiments, competitions, a film screening and group STEAM projects. There is also a whole school competition.
In 2023, students solved clues to solve a crime, and in 2024 they found codewords to unlock blueprints hidden on a website.
Our Science Week celebrations are growing each year; we already have a mobile planetarium visit planned for 2025.
