Residential Trips

Nurturing a Spirit of fun, adventure and curiosity

Throughout their time in Prep, the children tackle a range of exhilarating outdoor activities and develop teamwork and leadership skills on residential trips. From night-walks to songs around the campfire; from the zip-wire to shelter building; first-aid to ‘Bushcraft does Bake-Off’; these adventures offer the chance to try something new and make the most of the outdoors. Modern Foreign Languages’ studies culminate in a visit to France for Year 6 pupils.
