Home › Parents › Trips information › Dates for trips
The school operates a broad range of trips, from hill walking days in Shropshire to expeditions abroad. Our provisional trips programme for the 2023-23 academic year is displayed below. More trips will be added as the year goes on.
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.
