Opportunitiesforall
All Junior School students will have had the opportunity to participate in a residential by the time they reach Year 6. As children progress further through the Senior School and Sixth Form, the choice of trips grows even further with annual opportunities to stay overseas including a Ski Trip, French and German Exchange, French Work Experience, Battlefields Trip, and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
The School supports a range of local and regional tourist and cultural attractions with organised trips and activities, including the Black Country Living Museum, Lapworth Museum and Warwick Castle. Further afield, students have the opportunity to explore European destinations as well as annual expeditions offering the opportunity to volunteer and give back to an indigenous community.
Current students and parents can find details of overseas trips on the Firefly Student and Parent Portals.
From weekly away sports fixtures to cultural tours of cities across the world – there really is something to suit everyone.
