Trips
We never stand still at King Edward’s, and have an exciting calendar of trips for our students.
Each curriculum subject offers students the chance to consolidate learning outside of the classroom with academic visits, events, day and residential trips. Students might visit the National Portrait Gallery with Art, the theatre with Dance or Drama, Florence with Italian, Washington USA with History and Politics, plus many more.
Outside of subject based trips, there are other opportunities for students to enrich learning, such as:
- Ski and Snowboarding Trip
- Duke of Edinburgh Expeditions
- Water Sports
- Sports Tours
- Exchange programme with Charlotte County USA (Third Years)
"The trip was a fascinating experience, where we got to discover the stories of true computer science legends. We learnt about how they engineered enormous genius machines, and found ways to work around complications of old technology. We also found out about the future of AI and how we can make a difference ourselves".
