Global adventures

As a school we are committed to create opportunities for students to have the chance to participate in immersive experiences in contrasting places across the world. Students will work in a team and take the lead to raise funds, plan the itinerary, set goals, and adopt leadership roles – both before and during the expedition. They will develop key life and leadership skills.

In July 2019, a group of students from different year groups completed three-week expedition to India (Himalaya & Rajasthan). They trekked for a week covering 40+ miles with an altitude change of 3500m within the world's highest mountain range over the Hampta Pass. They completed a collaborative community project with a trust supporting vulnerable women and children in Jodhpur and supported an elephant sanctuary for rescued animals near Agra. They were fully immersed in the culture of the country visiting the Taj Mahal and Mahatma Gandhi's home in Delhi, travelling immense distances and experiencing the diversity of the country first-hand.  For example, they left the imposing Himalayan mountain range on an overnight sleeper train to wake the next day in the desert of Rajasthan in the presence of camels and the heat. As a group they collectively planned transport, accommodation and food while on the ground in India. This was so much more than a school trip.
