Trips

Our students participate in various field trips as part of our enriched curriculum.

The Duke of Edinburgh

“The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a global framework for non-formal education and learning, which challenges young people to dream big, celebrate their achievements and make a difference in their world. Through developing transferable skills, increasing their fitness levels, cultivating a sense of adventure and volunteering in their community, the Award helps young people to find their purpose, passion and place in the world.”

Certification is awarded to learners who complete the 4 sections of the award. Three of these sections will challenge the learners in areas of volunteering, to learn a new skill and there is also a physical section that aims to promote healthy activity among learners. The final component is an Adventurous Journey (AJ) that will be facilitated by our trusted partners at Ecoventure as well as our fantastic team of Award Leaders! 

Our Award leaders are: Ms. Stephanie Reece and Mr. Mostafa Ali

Trips

After the restrictions of Covid-19, we are delighted that once again, trips are going ahead and we can once again begin to expand the extra-curricular opportunities for our learners. We are excited to offer many day trios, residential and international trios to our students.
