Tiffin Girls' school trips

[Whattodo303]

Hi, first time posting so apologies if this makes no sense. We are lucky enough to have received a number of independent school offers, some with academic scholarships. If we're lucky enough to get an offer from Tiffin Girls school we will have very little time to decide what to do. One of the things I wish I had asked when we looked round is about the school trips on offer, this information doesn't seem to be available on the website. Does anyone know if Tiffin Girls' runs: 1) a residential trip in year 7; 2) any ski trips; 3) any sport based trips; 4) any other school trips? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried emailing the school to ask? I know they don't always respond, but you could try them as well.

1. a residential trip in year 7; Yes, in UK

2. any ski trips no don't think so ;

3. any sport based trips; only for top teams I guess

4. any other school trips? Theatre, zoo

Following with interest... really wonder how different the extra-curriculars would be like compared to independent schools. Of course I would be able to let DD do other things outside of school with the money saved, but what you do in school those years is a big part of your life.. We could go skiing as a family, and even with a friend family, but the experience would be completely different from a school ski trip. I keep putting myself in DD in both ends looking for justifications. Maybe DD won't get a place, and maybe then I'll really know how much I wanted it. But agree it's very little time to decide.

There are occasional outings but no bells and whistles. Suits us but we don't ski. DD does loads out of school. On the other hand there is a lovely community vibe at TGS, lots of entrepreneurial projects, competitions, insight days etc.

Many thanks for your responses. A ski trip can't be the deciding factor! (I know- fees, commute, pastoral care etc etc)
