Trips
Plans for 2023-2034
Trips will be split into Core Curriculum Trips and Enrichment Trips. We believe that every student should have the opportunity to develop their curriculum knowledge outside of the classroom.
For our Core Curriculum Trips, we will be expecting all students to attend these trips where possible, and we will provide support with additional staffing and financial help if needed. Please do speak with me, in confidence, should you require any financial support. Of course, as we go through the year, if there are individual concerns we can discuss these on a case-by-case basis.
