Travel

Each weekend usually and at Exeats certainly there are house groups going out on trips somewhere. These are always open to day girls as well as boarders. Surrounding cities are always popular for shopping but we always build in some educational purpose. Recent trips have included York, Stratford-upon-Avon, Hadrian’s Wall, Edinburgh, London and so on.

Some trips abroad are open to all, like the January ski trip to the Alps. Others are aimed at interest groups such as Lacrosse in the United States, Classical Studies to Rome and Greece, Biology and Geography to Iceland, Chapel Choir to French Cathedrals and Bach’s churches. We are not deterred by adverse publicity over the last five years. Foreign trips are a valuable resource when designed and monitored carefully. All have education at their heart and are unlikely to duplicate family holidays.
