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.

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.
In October 2013 I visited the following cities in Japan; Tokyo, Hiroshima and Kyoto.

I loved King William’s College from the start. I made up my mind within an hour of our time there that I wanted my son to attend. You have to come to College to understand what makes it stand out from the rest. It is a place of genuinely caring and friendly people. Another aspect of College we love is its vast international community. Our son has made some great friends and as a result has come to appreciate and respect other cultures and traditions. Our son loves College. He loves the independence to make choices, the easy access he has to his tutors, the opportunity to make his own mistakes and learn from them, but most of all, he loves the fact that expert assistance is always a breath away.
