Bright minds. Balanced experiences. Bold adventures.
At Alderley Edge School for Girls, our Prep School trips are an essential part of our commitment to providing a rich, well-rounded education. We believe that learning goes far beyond the classroom and our trips are designed to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and create unforgettable memories.
From Reception to Year 6, our girls enjoy a wide variety of educational visits and residential experiences that support academic learning, personal development, and social growth.
Bright Minds in the Wider World
Our trips are carefully chosen to complement the curriculum and bring learning to life. Whether exploring Roman history in York, discovering the wonders of science at interactive exhibitions, or visiting art galleries and theatres, our girls engage with the world around them in meaningful and exciting ways.
These experiences help deepen understanding, spark new interests, and encourage inquisitive thinking all while having fun with friends.
Balanced Experiences for Wellbeing and Growth
We know that emotional wellbeing and personal development are just as important as academic success. That’s why many of our trips focus on nature, teamwork, and mindfulness.
Forest School visits, outdoor activity centres, and nature walks give girls the chance to connect with the environment, build resilience, and develop strong interpersonal skills. These balanced experiences help our pupils feel grounded, calm, and confident, ready to take on new challenges.

Bold Adventures That Build Confidence
Our girls are encouraged to be brave, adventurous, and proud of their achievements. Whether it’s climbing, canoeing, performing in a new setting, or navigating a residential trip away from home, each experience is designed to stretch their comfort zones in a safe and supportive way.
These bold moments help girls discover their strengths, celebrate their individuality, and grow in independence — all while having a brilliant time.
“The trips offered in the Prep School have been such a valuable part of our daughter’s education. She’s come home full of excitement, new knowledge, and stories of adventure, whether it’s exploring history, connecting with nature, or trying something completely new. These experiences have really boosted her confidence and helped her grow in independence. We love how the school encourages girls to be curious, balanced, and bold in everything they do.”
