Weekend Trips and Activities

From Year 5, Saturday is a busy school day for all at Horris Hill School, regardless of whether they are a boarder or day pupil.  

Children attend academic lessons in the morning and sports fixtures after lunch.

We regularly hold Family Chapel Services throughout the term on Saturday afternoons. Future service dates are published in the School Newsletter.

Weekend Trips

Our boarding school students, who remain with us over the weekend, have an incredibly fun time, with a range of activities and trips to keep our residents entertained. They are never bored! Our trips include theme parks, bowling alleys, laser questing and tagging venues, the cinema, theatre, museums, professional sport matches, high rope courses, ice skating and much more.

We also offer lots of on-site activities, ranging from Laser Quest to tree climbing and den building in our woods, to Bake Off competitions!

Recent weekend trips have included nearby Paulton's Park theme park. Find out more about our weekend offering during an open day, or personal tour.
