Trips and Visits

School trips form an important part of academy life and are often the most memorable when we look back on our school days.

Trips to art galleries, museums, theatre, are regularly organised to enrich students’ cultural experience and support learning in the classroom. The Academy ensures that no students’ learning is disadvantaged and applications for financial support for trips linked to the curriculum should be made to our finance department.

Residential trips to Europe and the USA are organised. The trips page on our website is regularly updated with planned trips and gives details on the date, cost and payment schedule to help families budget.

All trips and enrichments are subject to current Government guidelines.

Lunch-time and After-school Clubs

Every child and parent will be given a special log in to SOCS, our club and activity tracker where they will be able to sign up to clubs and opportunities.
