Enhancing academic and social development
Eastbourne College is committed to providing a diverse range of trips and expeditions in the UK and overseas to enhance the curriculum and pupils’ personal and social development.
Without having to travel far, pupils are able to gain a better understanding of concepts and theories learnt in the classroom by taking advantage of the wide range of memorable learning experiences on offer. Recent examples include UK trips to the Cheltenham Literary Festival and Stratford-upon-Avon; numerous day trips to London for textiles and drama, debating trips to Cambridge and Folkestone and a sailing regatta in Bristol, as well as regular visits to Cambridge and Oxford.
Visits to many countries are also run regularly. Recent academic trips have included our annual French exchange whilst our activity related trips have including a surf trip to Fuerteventura, cricket to South Africa, multi-sports to Dubai and our annual ski trips.
As well as offering regular academic and sports trips, we also encourage pupils to broaden their horizons by taking part in overseas trips designed to develop vital life skills and an appreciation of all that we take for granted in our daily lives.
There is an exciting range of residential trips planned for the next few years.
Field trips include destinations such as Iceland, Morocco and southern Spain.
