The sheer number and variety of educational trips offered is a real strength of a Sevenoaks education. Our schedule of over 200 visits annually reflects our global perspective and the value we place on experiential education.
Sevenoaks staff are enthusiastic and unstoppable in their passion for real world experience in education. During the school holidays, we offer a plethora of educational trips to a variety of locations. Each year we offer approximately 50 residential trips, across a range of academic and co-curricular interests. In addition, Sevenoaks students can participate in a wide variety of non-residential trips each term, including trips to London for art exhibitions and theatre productions.

Sport, Drama and Music tours offer students the chance to perform or compete in a new place, gain an insight into other cultures, learn new skills, and sometimes play at an international level. Recent sports tours have included: hockey to South Africa, netball to Barbados, cricket to Dubai, and rugby to Canada. Two skiing trips catering for both the casual skier and the ski racer take place each year.
Outdoor pursuits and challenges are provided by the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and Combined Cadet Force trips, while MUN and debating conferences help pupils develop their confidence, presentation skills and political awareness.
As part of our Service and Partnerships programme, we offer a visit to South Africa to work with partner organisations.
