School trips can make a major contribution to the acquisition of knowledge and development of skills. Studies of the natural and man-made world, the present and past, Science and Arts, Language and Music can all be enhanced outside the classroom.
Adventure activity and sports skills can form the foundation of life-long interests.

On a wintery Friday in February, a group of history enthusiasts: teachers and students, gather in the small airport on an island in the Irish Sea.

Our trip began on Friday 6th of February 2015 when we had to meet at the airport at the unearthly hour of 6.00 in the morning. 21 bleary eyed students complete with three teachers briskly made their way through airport security and stumbled towards Costa to wait for the departure of our plane which would leave at 7.05.
As we descended from the sky and broke through dense Icelandic cloud, we observed Keflavik's apocalyptic, rusty, barren land housing volcano craters with bated breath. The steady, eerie drone of the luxurious Iceland Air plane accompanying this unearthly sight made time stand still – and this was only the beginning.

The Classics trip to Greece this spring was amazing! It was lovely and warm, but not too hot or too busy.
There are certain times in life, and I can 100% guarantee that everyone will have felt this at some point, where you would be hit in the face by a donkey than get out of bed; and at 4:45 on a blustery dark February morning I felt this exactly.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you and all the KWC team for the ongoing support and care taken for the education of my child. I have to say that you manage to fulfil both my child and my own dreams beyond expectations and everybody has observed his fantastic evolution.
