Our varied programme of school trips offers pupils incredible opportunities to explore new places, develop new skills, and make unforgettable memories.
From the excitement of our ski trip and the challenge of conquering the Three Peaks, to enriching cultural experiences such as the Year 8 Leavers’ trip to Spain, our trips are thoughtfully planned to inspire, educate, and broaden pupils’ horizons.
We offer dedicated language-immersion visits to support and enhance pupils’ learning in Spanish and Mandarin, bringing classroom learning to live through real-world experiences.
Pupils also enjoy leadership-focused outdoor expeditions, including camping, hiking, climbing and summiting in Snowdonia, building resilience and teamwork in stunning natural settings. Our close relationship with Brighton College provides special opportunities too – such as meeting the England Rugby Team and taking part in an immersive drama day in their brand new Cairns Theatre.
We make the most of our location with regular visits to museums, London landmarks, Brighton Marina, and other local cultural hotspots, ensuring pupils are exposed to a wide range of experiences. Every trip is carefully curated to complement our curriculum and nurture confidence, independence, and curiosity in every child.
Our trip calendar is packed with unforgettable experiences. Highlights include the French Ski Trip, stepping back in time to the WWI Battlefields in the Somme and Ypres, and tackling the The Great Escape in Shropshire.
Pupils also enjoy hiking the South Downs, conquering the Twin Peaks Challenge, making a splash with Yellowave water sports, and summiting Snowdon. The year ends on a high with our Year 8 celebration trip, most recently a week was spent in Barcelona — a true celebration of adventure and achievement!
The best way to experience what life is like at Brighton College Prep Handcross is to join us at an Open Morning, where you will have the chance to talk to pupils and teachers about what makes our school such a special place, and to ask any questions you might have.
We also offer Mini Owls Toddler Club for families interested in joining our Nursery or Reception classes. Sessions are held weekly in our Nursery during term time and provide the ideal opportunity for parents and children to explore our school.
