Year 11 Art Trip to the Tate Modern, London
Year 11 Art students visited London to see some of its most famous landmarks.
Trips and visits are an important part of our school year. Whether day outings or longer international expeditions, school trips can make a major contribution to the acquisition of knowledge and the development of interpersonal skills. They allow our students to learn outside of the classroom, with some important real-world experiences. Trips can enhance their confidence, independence and can contribute significantly to their personal development.
Below are details of some of the trips that have recently taken place, as well as some of the upcoming trips over this academic year.

GCSE Geography students attended two trips in March 2018.
This is a 2 night trip taking place in November 2017. Students in Year 13 study the AQA unit "Democracy and Nazism, 1918-1945". Within this topic, one key theme that students have to study is the treatment of the Jews and the Holocaust. Students study this throughout Years 12 and 13 as part of their A-Level studies, meaning that they will be visiting Auschwitz at the time that they are studying the topic, making the trip relevant to their studies.
This is a two night trip taking place in March 2018 and one that the History department has been running for the last three years. This has been a highly successful trip for Year 8 students in the past as it coincides with our studies of World War One and what life was like for soldiers during this time. Students study this at the time of the trip. Students will experience the trenches, craters, artillery and uniforms for themselves by visiting specific battle sites, museums and memorials. Students can additionally see items like the gas masks that were used as well as the different types of munitions that were used by both sides.
