Experience Week and School Trips
The school offers pupils in years 7-9 the chance to experience a week of experiences. The week usually takes place in mid June and allows pupils to choose from a list of activities such as residential visits, day visits and some take place on the school premises. The list of locations has included visits to France, Italy, Spain as well as day trip visits to local entertainment venues. The trio to Biggar in Scotland was one of the ever popular activities. Open only to those in year 7 it involved a coach journey to Scotland and a week of activities and social bonding.
In 2007 it was announced that Experience Week would not continue due to the merger with a special school and increased health and safety regulations.
