Trips
BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
A Global CHS Experience
School trips are a treasured part of life at CHS. From local visits to international adventures, our trips enrich the curriculum and open up new perspectives across a wide range of subjects. Just as importantly, they help pupils learn more about themselves and the world around them. Some trips are linked to specific disciplines and others unite different areas of the curriculum.
