Trips & visits

At Twickenham School we appreciate the value and learning experiences that trips and visits can bring. It is important that students gain life experience and personal development. It's particularly beneficial to their learning and understanding in a specific subject by effectively using their senses. Additionally, we encourage outside speakers and groups to visit the school.

Some examples of trips and visits that we offer are:

• UK-based Geography data collection days for GCSE
• Winter Ski trip to Austria
• Culture filled trip to Vienna focusing on the Arts
• Student helpers visit local primary schools to read with younger students 
• Career fair visits to engage with future employers
• Brooklands Museum host our students for science workshops 
• French students visit Le Touquet to practice speaking french in local markets
• Year 10 visit the Globe Theater to watch Shakespeare for English 
• PE students enjoy external specialist classes in Cycling, Judo and Golf
• Theatre trips - each year group gets the opportunity to see a live theater performance every year
• Art students visit Kew Gardens to work on botanical design 
• Visits to Lords Cricket Grounds to watch live cricket matches and tours of the grounds 
• Duke of Edinburgh students undertake a camping expedtion to the Chiltern or Surrey Hills 

Additionally, we encourage outside speakers and groups to visit the school. We have welcomed visitors from Colleges in the local area along with inviting inspirational speakers into school to present.

Letters are sent to parents regarding trips and visits well in advance to allow time for payment and planning.
