Excursions
Excursions provide an enjoyable change of scene and a motivating insight into the history and culture of the country whose language our pupils are learning.
The school is surrounded by interesting places to visit, from nearby Stonehenge to the beautiful Dorset coast and the lively, historic Roman city of Bath.
Excursions are arranged for each age group to provide an enjoyable mix of sightseeing, shopping and culture. They are prepared in class to help pupils get the most from the places they visit.
