Memorable Experience Visits

Only exceptional personal development is acceptable.

We believe that every student at Meridian should leave with a set of skills and experiences that mean that they can thrive in the outside world.

Our focus is on ‘Education’ and building the whole person.

Experience today- explore tomorrow

In order to build the cultural capital of our students, it is essential that they have a wide, rich set of experiences outside of the classroom and curriculum. It is important that we foster students strengths, talents and interests so that they can better understand their passions and using their talents in the future. 

We are delighted to offer all KS3 students the chance to take part in a free residential trip to PGL Marchants Hill- an unforgettable experience fully funded by the school. This unique opportunity allows every student to enjoy a few days away from home, building independence, teamwork, and resilience in a safe and supportive environment.

Highlights of the Trip

  • Thrilling outdoor activities such as climbing, abseiling, zip wire, and problem-solving challenges.

  • Team-building experiences that strengthen friendships and build confidence.

  • Memorable evenings of fun, laughter, and shared adventure.

Benefits for Students

  • Develops essential life skills such as communication, leadership, and resilience.

  • Creates lasting memories and friendships that extend far beyond the classroom.

  • Builds self-belief by encouraging students to step out of their comfort zones and try something new.

This residential is more than just a trip- it’s a chance for every KS3 student to grow, explore, and create memories that will stay with them throughout their school journey. At Meridian High School, we are proud to remove the barriers to participation by funding this experience for all students in KS3.
