Trips and Visits

Trips and Visits

At Philip Southcote School, we passionately believe in the value of offering all our young people, from Year 7 through to Year 14, the opportunity to extend their learning experiences outside the classroom by building in an extensive programme of offsite trips and in welcoming visitors to the 4 sites of our school.

Our trips off site link both into our curriculum offer and into our commitment to offering opportunities to develop the life skills, social skills and independence skills of all our young people.
