School Visits

A large number of tours and visits are organised by the school each year. These often complement the curriculum but can sometimes provide other exciting opportunities and experiences.

Past trips have taken pupils as far afield as Turkey, Tanzania and China. The Classics department regularly organises tours to destinations such as Italy and Greece and the Modern Foreign Languages department has annual language visits to France and Germany. The biannual Geography trip to Iceland is hugely popular.

Sports tours are organised regularly; football teams have toured Spain and cricketers have travelled to Barbados as they will again in 2026!

In addition there are numerous opportunities throughout the year for boys to participate in day trips (for example museum and gallery visits) or evening trips (for example to music concerts or theatre visits). The variety on offer will depend on the year group and subjects studied.

It is also traditional for there to be a visit to the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park at some point early on in each boy’s Wilson’s career. As well as being educational and enormous fun, it is a valuable 'bonding' experience, giving boys the chance to get to know their new friends in an environment very different from the classroom.
