Field Trips
Field Trip at Hadrian's Wall
Field Trip at Alnwick
Over the course of the three weeks there will be specific field trips depending on the subject being studied. For example, business school students will go on field trips to visit businesses in the North East while creative writing students will visit literary sites. However, there are field trips during the summer school that all students, independent of what subject they are studying, will go on. These field trips will encourage cross-disciplinary discussion and dialogue. They will ensure all students learn about the north east of England's world heritage sites, impressive history and unique story of cultural and urban regeneration. For 2012 it is anticipated that these will include :
A visit to England's largest world heritage site, Hadrian's Wall. Built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian almost 2000 years ago, students explore the archaeological sites of Housesteads and Vindolanda.
A visit to Alnwick Castle , home of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies.
A visit to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Students explore the striking 16th century castle and the evocative ruins of Lindisfarne Priory, the famous seat of Christian learning in the seventh century.
All field trips are part of your programme and as such are not subject to additional charges.
