Outings
To supplement their education, St. Philip's pupils are offered a number of outings. We find that these are often the highlight of the term for many. Outings are generally on an historical or cultural theme and are selected to complement the curriculum. At the end of Prep 4, pupils spend a week in Condette, Normandy, from where they visit trenches from the Great War, the Normandy beaches, Agincourt and a chocolaterie. There's also the opportunity to practise their French on the locals!
A list of the regular trips are provided below. Please follow the links for further information
