Kenya 2025
The aim of the trip is to provide pupils with an opportunity to experience life in a different country and well as supporting the local community by taking part in building and renovation work at a school in Nakuru.
The trip is organised by African Adventures, and their itinerary includes a safari, a Swahili language lesson, a Kenyan cookery lesson and a visit to a shield volcano with one of the biggest calderas in the world, located in the Great Rift Valley.
We recognise that this excursion is expensive and many of our students are actively fundraising to support the cost of the trip, developing their enterprise skills as well as inspiring other students to see that opportunities are possible if you work hard.
Year 9 student Charlie, took his fundraising story to BBC Radio Tees.
