Trips
Sir John Lawes School always tries to provide its students with opportunities for personal and educational enrichment through a varied programme of residential trips. These trips support the curriculum and try to encompass most departments.
The Year 7 autumn term trip is organised to provide personal development opportunities and an invaluable bonding experience for our younger students. We hold History trips to Normandy and Berlin, enriching students understanding of topics covered during their History lessons. There are multiple languages trips including Year 7 to France where they explore the local area and visit local markets, Year 9 to Spain where they enjoy a varied programme of activities during the day and the evening.
Years 7 to Year 12 always look forward to the spring term ski trip, this will gives students the opportunity to enjoy winter sports during February half term. The school also boasts a number of international exchange programmes including Germany, Zambia and an American exchange for our senior students.
