Dates for trips
Below you can view details of the trips planned for this academic year. Much of the time we operate similar trips each year, but check back in a month or two to see what has been added as there are quite a few more trips in the pipeline. Please note that the list of trips may change and the cost of a trip is not fixed until the letter is sent out about it. It is possible that a few trips will be added to, or removed from, the list but we hope that this list will help parents in making decisions about trips in which they would like their sons to take part.
