This can be found below. Please experiment with the new system and give us your feedback.

  For the sake of clarity, the grid has been divided into two sections; the first for Years 7-11 and the second for Years 12-13. If you roll over the title of any visit a brief description can be seen. If you click into the box alongside the title, the cost will be added to the total at the foot of the grid. Please note that everything you see comes with no guarantee. Trips are sometimes cancelled because of political unrest, stormy seas, etc. Prices will fluctuate due to oil prices, accommodation costs, etc. It would be impossible to give an accurate price for a trip that might take place in 7 years time. The cost of trips will be updated on a regular basis when prices are confirmed. Rest assured that we will always endeavour to get the best possible deal for your children both financially and educationally.
