Quest: Trips and Activities

Quest is our weekend programme of trips and activities, which sits within a wider conceptual framework of boarding provision. Activities enhance engagement with new surroundings and with new cultures. Our weekends bring greater depth to the pathways towards lifelong learning by offering experiences that enrich and nurture new or existing interests. The Quest program is carefully designed with a balance of five elements: 

• Best of British

• Cultural Growth

• Social and Experiential

• Learning, Discovery, and Exploration

• Community Events

Participation in the weekend programme provides our boarding students with the opportunity to build connections with students from other houses.  A cornerstone of Quest is encouraging boarders to work collectively to develop it year on year, having their say in the range of activities and experiences that make up the program. Quest is designed to have intercultural learning at the fore; helping our boarders make links between home cultures, the cultures of their peers, and the culture they find in their adopted home, the UK. Embedding international mindedness through shared activity and experience helps to foster a wider perspective and move our boarding students toward the global citizenship we are preparing them for.
