2024 day trips and events are subject to confirmation

Students aged 11-12, are supervised for all excursions by members of staff.

Students aged 13-16, are unsupervised for all excursions (unless notified otherwise on relevant supervision form or via parental portal), but must check in at a meeting point at designated times throughout the trip and must remain in a minimum student group size of 4.

The Summer School Director will make the final decision regarding supervision.

All students will:

– be supervised on the coach journey to the venue

– have contact details of the trip leader and accompanying staff

– have a map of the place being visited

– be shown where the meeting point is where a member of staff will be located throughout the duration of the trip
