Educational Visits and Trips

As a Language College, we offer a wide variety of international trips, exchanges and experiences. International visits are an integral part of all areas of our curriculum, we annually participate in a French and Spanish schools exchange programme and we are now broadening our links to schools in Taiwan, China, Japan and Australia, we also run an annual ski trip.

Our pupils have recently explored Arizona with the Geography Department, the battlefields of Northern France with the History Department, Canada with the PE Department, China with the Languages Department and Disneyland Paris with the Science Department; future excursions include visits to Iceland and South Africa.

The summer of 2007 also saw the first World Challenge expedition. Thirteen pupils spent four weeks in Peru learning more about this diverse and fascinating culture whilst developing their independent skills.
