International Travel

Our international travel programme offers students the opportunity to broaden their horizons through overseas trips, cultural visits and immersive experiences that bring learning to life beyond the classroom.

These opportunities encourage students to develop independence, cultural awareness and a deeper understanding of the world around them, while creating memories that will stay with them long after Sixth Form.

Kenya Expedition

A truly life-changing experience, our annual Kenya expedition combines volunteering with cultural exploration. Working in partnership with African Adventures, students support schools in underprivileged communities through teaching or building projects.

Alongside their volunteering work, students experience the natural beauty and wildlife of Kenya, including visits to Lake Nakuru National Park, Thomson Falls and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage. This is a challenging, rewarding and eye-opening opportunity to make a meaningful impact while gaining a global perspective.

The Refugio Project, Portugal

Students have the opportunity to volunteer with the Refugio Project, a charity supporting young children who have experienced neglect or trauma. Taking place during half-term breaks, this experience allows students to contribute to a meaningful cause while immersing themselves in Portuguese culture.

It is a powerful opportunity to develop empathy, responsibility and a deeper understanding of the importance of community support.

New York City

Our New York trip offers a unique opportunity to explore the links between academic study and real-world contexts. Open to all students, the visit brings subjects such as Sociology, Psychology and Art to life through visits to world-famous landmarks and institutions.

Students explore key themes including immigration, social change and globalisation, while visiting iconic locations such as the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the 9/11 Memorial and leading museums. This is an exciting and enriching academic and cultural experience.

Berlin

The Berlin trip provides a powerful insight into one of the most significant periods in European history. Particularly relevant to A Level History students, the visit explores Weimar and Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, while remaining open to all students.

Through guided tours of key historical sites—including the Berlin Wall, Reichstag, Sachsenhausen concentration camp and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe—students gain a deeper understanding of the past in a meaningful and reflective way.

These experiences form an integral part of our Sixth Form, helping students to grow in confidence, develop independence and gain a broader perspective on the world.
