Read MoreGhana 2026
Published 07/11/24Dear Parent/Carer,
After last year’s very successful volunteering trip to Ghana in Africa, we are delighted to offer the same trip again to current students in Years 10, 11 and 12 for two weeks in June/July 2026. We run this trip every two years to allow students an extended period in which to fundraise, which is something that we help them to do. Students gain invaluable and wonderful experience working in a school on the south coast of the country, and can also be part of a building project. They also experience African drumming workshops, visit beautiful beaches, a waterfall and the rainforest, and hand feed a colony of wild monkeys.
If this is something that your daughter/son and yourself would like to learn more about, please come along to our information evening on Monday 25th November at 6pm. To let us know that you are coming along, please fill out the form on this page African Adventures
With best wishes,
Simon Holmes
Assistant Head/Head of Sixth Form
