Excursions

Learning Beyond the Classroom

Excursions at Collingham Kensington are an essential part of our educational approach. Carefully curated visits, cultural outings and academic trips bring subjects to life, encourage broader thinking, and give students memorable opportunities to engage with the world around them.

We believe that exposure to new environments and ideas helps students develop curiosity, independence and a deeper appreciation of their studies.

Our excursions are closely tied to the curriculum. They may include:

> Literature and theatre visits for English students

> Economics and Politics students attending talks and debates

Broadening Horizons

Excursions also support personal development, offering chances to:
