Activities Week
Each year your child will benefit from spending a week doing something entirely different whilst still continuing to learn!
Year 7 and 9 Residential Trips: Building Independence and Teamwork
Our residential trips are designed to foster independence, teamwork, and a sense of achievement. These activities provide invaluable experiences that help your child grow both personally and socially.
During these trips, your child will engage in a variety of challenging and exciting activities, such as tackling high ropes courses, abseiling down cliffs, and camping under the stars. These experiences not only build physical skills but also encourage them to step out of their comfort zones, work collaboratively with peers, and develop resilience.
Your child will learn the importance of trust, communication, and team work, returning with a greater sense of confidence and a stronger bond with their classmates, ready to take on new challenges both in and out of the classroom.
In-School Adventures: Diverse and Enriching Experiences
In addition to residential trips, our school offers a wide variety of activities. Your child can look forward to adventurous experiences such as visiting a water park, engaging in laser battles, and even designing and building their own roller coasters. These activities are not only fun but also stimulate creativity, problem-solving skills, and teamwork.
Our cultural visits to historical locations and opportunities to see Shakespearean plays build your child’s cultural capital.
Work Experience and Post 18 Preparation
When your child is in Year 10 or the Sixth Form they will benefit from activities which support their future beyond school. Work experience in Year Ten and Sixth Form is a chance to experience work experience placements. If you are in Sixth Form you will also receive support in preparing your application for University.
Together, these activities ensure that our students receive a well-rounded education filled with adventure, creativity, and cultural enrichment.
