Fieldwork and Other Activities
KSHS offers foreign trips for pupils studying Geography, History and Art. History pupils in Year 11 have had in the past the opportunity to study the Third Reich and the Cold War on the annual journey to Berlin, however in October 2010 the trip was to Krakow in Poland where the students visited Auschwitz. Year 9 students can also take part in the joint Geography and History trip to Paris and Normandy. Some Geography students participated in a trip to Iceland in 2007.
History pupils are offered a variety of other trips within the UK. For example, Year 7 pupils visit Lincoln Castle, Year 8 pupils make a full-day visit to Parliament in London, and Year 9 pupils visit the Holocaust Centre at Laxton, near Newark.
Geography pupils participate in field trips within the UK as well.
Art students are offered a visit to New York or Paris. Those studying languages can take part in foreign exchange visits.
The school supports pupils participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme at Bronze, Silver and Gold.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
