School Trips Log | St Michael's CE High School

St Michael’s pupils enjoy a wide range of educational visits both within the Curriculum (see Christian Values Enrichment Days) and outside of the Curriculum, as optional school holidays. We believe these are incredibly valuable, not only to enhance the learning which takes place in the classroom but also for developing confidence, team building and independence.

Below is a table explaining where and when these trips usually take place, for which pupils and costs and the aims of each experience. Please note that these school educational visits are run at the discretion of the organising teachers.
