Trips

The School is committed to providing a rich and stimulating range of visits to broaden the education of the children. It is important to us that all students learn about the world by getting out of the classroom on occasions, to experience the world first-hand. All our trips to museums and galleries, that are arranged as part of the curriculum, are included in the fee as are week-long residential trips in Year 7 and again in Year 8. Year 6 have a 4-day trip to France, which is subsidised by the School.

Belmont Residential School Trips 2012-13

This is the programme for residential school trips, 2012-13. We hope that by receiving this information now, it will be easier for you to plan ahead. However, as the economic climate is at present so uncertain this plan may be subject to change. We will always try to give you as much warning as possible about any changes to these residential visits.
