School trips

Since 2006 the school has run regular trips to Berlin for those in the Ls (ten-year-olds). Fifteen boys and two teachers travel by minibus and plane on a Friday, spend the weekend exploring the city centre and return on the Monday. This affords many cultural and historical insights, photo opportunities and a break from the school routine. 'Dreadlock Holiday' by '10CC' has been adopted as the trip theme tune.
