Trips and Visits
The trip calendar below shows some of the larger scheduled trips running this year at Balshaw’s High School. Not all trips are open to all students, it may depend on the course requirements or participation, or the numbers that the Trip Leader can take. Many Departments or groups also run day trips, with recent highlights including Drama trips to Blood Brothers, and competition trips for Young Speakers.

We are adding to this Calendar all of the time! Dates also go on our school calendar that you can find here.
This calendar is to give parents/carers an idea of what your student may be offered as they go through their High School journey. Not all trips will be offered every year, and the costings given are very much approximates and subject to change. However we feel that this is a helpful guide to perhaps help parents plan for the future.
You can see details about previous trips in our News section here.
