We regularly take students to Wales where children have a range of activities including climbing, hiking and kayaking. For many students this is their first experience of outward bound activities.

At Hartsdown every child has the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award. DofE is about helping you along the path to a productive and prosperous future. Achieving the Award gives our students skills, confidence and an edge over others when they apply for college, university or a job.

We work with the Brilliant Club to deliver the Scholars Programme which provides pupils our students with the opportunity to work with a PhD researcher to experience university-style learning. It helps them to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to secure a place at a highly-selective university.
