Trips

Group in hiking gear on a rocky hill - from Kingston Grammar School

Trips at Kingston Grammar School vary widely, with students taking part from First Year through to Sixth Form. Opportunities range from local and UK-based trips, such as DofE expeditions and fieldwork, to international experiences including ski trips to Canada, geography visits to Iceland, and subject tours across Europe and beyond. As students progress through the school, trips become more specialised and adventurous, supporting academic learning, teamwork, independence and personal development at every stage.
