Educational Visits and Trips
2025/2026
Habs is a wonderful environment for learning. Yet going out into the world brings an exciting new perspective, whether exploring the local countryside or heading on an overseas adventure.
We run a busy trip schedule for our Senior School students, further enhancing their academic and personal development. With over 300 trips per year, the trips programme is vast and one of the real strengths of our school.
The ambition is to provide incredible opportunities for all students to broaden their experiences beyond the classroom across a broad range of subject areas, interests and activities.
Some of the trips detailed in this booklet have already been launched, some are in the planning phase and there will be others to follow.
