Educational Visits
Each week there is a full-day class visit to a famous site in England. The site will be chosen for its historical or cultural importance, and is of educational interest to young people. The students prepare the visit in advance with their class teacher, will have a guided tour of the site and will complete an educational project related to the visit. Visits are chosen to be suitable for the age and ability of the students in the class.
