Outside the Classroom

The extra-curricular provision at Wycliffe is wide-reaching and all-encompassing – with something for everyone. Whether your son or daughter likes to build robots, run cross-country, sing, sew, debate or read, there is something for them to enjoy. In addition, they will be encouraged to try new activities to take them out of their comfort zone!

Hands-on Learning through Trips and Expedition Days

Pupils gain so much incidental knowledge through our trips and Expedition Days. Recent expeditions include Hooke Court Farm Experience, York, Cotswold Water Park, camping, Cheltenham Festivals and much more. Trips with their year group form an important part of the curriculum for each pupil – to explore and to learn independence, respect, resilience and have fun!

In addition to the yearly trips, your son or daughter will take part in the Expedition Days in Middle Prep and Upper Prep School (Years 3 to 8). Museums, walks across the Malverns and Art Exhibitions are just some of the trips your child will get to go on.
