Educational Trips & Visits
Educational trips and visits enrich a student’s education and at 希弗德 Head School we offer a wide variety of Educational Visits. There are day visits and residential trips including the Ski trip, Concert Tour, Welsh Camp, the Imperial War Museum, Brighton and even to Thorpe Park. We are also so lucky to live in a beautiful part of the world where we can utilise the Seven Sisters, the South Downs and 希弗德 Beach.
There is enormous value in developing the student holistically on these trips nurturing a passion for learning and enhancing a student’s life. The trips and visits will add to an already outstanding education, these are not only during term time but staff give up their holidays as well to provide students with these experiences.
World Challenge is a once in a lifetime opportunity to deliver a sustainable project in a developing country, in the summer of 2022 the students delivered a sustainable project in Borneo.
