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.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
