Trips

Sir John Lawes School always tries to provide its students with opportunities for personal and educational enrichment through a varied programme of residential trips. These trips support the curriculum and try to encompass most departments.

The Year 7 autumn term trip is organised to provide personal development opportunities and an invaluable bonding experience for our younger students. The Year 9 History trip to Normandy helps to enrich students understanding of topics covered during their History lessons. There are multiple languages trips including Year 7 to France where they explore the local area and visit local markets, Year 9 to Spain where they enjoy a varied programme of activities during the day and the evening.

Years 8 to Year 12 always look forward to the spring term ski trip, this gives students the opportunity to enjoy winter sports during February half term. The school also boasts a number of international exchange programmes including Germany and Zambia, plus an American exchange for our sixth form students.
