Travel and Trips
Academic Travel
The College runs a range of external trips which are integral to the academic programme.
Our theatre students watch various shows including productions at the Globe Theatre in London and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Our Politics students enjoy an in-depth tour of the Houses of Parliament and meet with sitting MPs and members of the House of Lords.
Our Art students visit a number of art galleries including the Ashmolean, Christ Church Picture Gallery, the National Gallery, the Wallace Collection, Tate Britain and Kettles Yard.
Our Communications students visit the BBC.
Our History students visit the Ironbridge Gorge Museum, home of the first major bridge in the world to be made out of cast iron and a symbol of the Industrial Revolution. Our History students also visit the Black Country Living Museum, where they learn what life was like in industrial Britain.
Our Global Issues students visit a working farm and learn about organic and sustainable farming in the 21st Century.
Our Astronomy students stargaze at Hanwell Community Observatory. The observatory houses the largest telescope in Britian specifically designed for public and educational astronomy.
This is only a snapshot of some of the trips our students go on every semester!
Travel Break
Travel Break is an integral part of the Wroxton Experience. Halfway through the semester, our students have the chance to take a well-earned break from their studies. A lot of our students travel into Europe. Italy, Spain and the Netherlands are three favourite destinations. Some students decide to stay closer to home, exploring the towns and cities of Great Britain. Whatever you choose, it’s your travel break, it’s entirely up to you! Wherever you go, it’ll be an unforgettable experience
Weekend Trips
Our students have classes Monday to Thursday and enjoy trips round the UK, Friday to Sunday. Great Britain has so much to offer and we want our students to experience as much of it as possible. Students can sign up for the trips they want to go on at no additional cost.
Ever fancied a day trip to Bath, Cardiff or Brighton? Perhaps an afternoon at Kenilworth Castle? Cream tea at Warwick Castle? Maybe a visit to Sulgrave Manor, the ancestral home of George Washington? Why not? It’s only 10 miles away. And of course, there’s always Stonehenge. Everyone loves to go to Stonehenge.
The College also runs long weekends in Paris and Edinburgh. Scale the Eiffel Tower, or perhaps scale Arthur’s Seat and watch the sunrise. There’s no reason why you can’t do both.
