At Francis Holland, our commitment to offering a broad educational offering extends far beyond the classroom and includes an extensive programme of trips and visits around the UK and internationally.

Our trips and visits programme not only enriches our pupils’ subject knowledge but also encourages them to develop friendships and skills for life, including independence, leadership and teamwork. Some trips are included in the cost of the fees and some are offered at an additional charge.
