Religious Studies
Our religious studies day trips are designed to support classroom learning with carefully planned visits to places of worship, historic sites and centres of pilgrimage. Each trip gives students the opportunity to explore faith, belief and religious heritage first-hand through guided visits, workshops and educational activities.
