TRIPS ABROAD It was once written that ‘an ounce of experience is worth a pound of science’. Whilst we wouldn’t wish to denigrate the hard work of our science students, we do still believe that trips often enhance and accelerate a student’s understanding of the world. That is why we actively encourage staff to organise visits and overseas trips to as many far-flung destinations as possible.
Recent international activities have included our annual physics trip to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva and a combined geography and biology trip to Iceland (pictured here), which is now an annual fixture. This year we have seen trips to Berlin, Paris and Barcelona, and are preparing for our annual ski trip to Italy.
We run student exchanges as part of the European Work Experience Programme to Sweden, Italy and Germany, which are open to all students, as well as langauge exchange trips to Barcelona. Already in the calendar for 2018 are our history trip to Berlin, geography trip to Iceland and an art trip to Italy, all of which will be open to students in other subjects.
