Co-Curricular: Introduction

In addition to the clubs offered through the Outdoor Education Department, a wide variety of trips run throughout the year. By taking boys to new and interesting environments, the aim is to achieve as many of the following goals as possible:

To create a sense of teamwork within the group.
To expand and improve upon the skills acquired during weekly sessions.
To develop an awareness of the environment and our impact upon it.
To engender an atmosphere of fun and enjoyment.
To foster a love for travel and the outdoors.
To celebrate each other’s success and help everyone to improve.

We aim to introduce the boys to a wide range of activities and the following list gives a taste of the sorts of things that the boys have done in recent years.

Expeditions to Chile, Bolivia and Nepal
Surf trips within the UK and abroad
Mountain Biking in Wales and the French Alps
