Kenya trip 2026

On Sunday, a group of our Year 12 and 13 students, accompanied by members of staff Miss Lowe, Dr Richards, Mr Neale and Miss Devenney-Lees, flew out of Manchester for a 10-day charitable trip to Kenya with African Adventures.

Flying via Ethiopia, they reached Nairobi on Monday, where they spent one night before heading to Nakuru.

On the way, they were fortunate to not only be able to stop off at the majestic East Rift Valley viewpoint (lead picture) but also to visit Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant sanctuary, where they learnt all about the Trust's fantastic conservation and rescue work.

And they enjoyed the lovely opportunity to see 1-year-old elephant Kipekee (pictured in the middle below), who was adopted by one of our students, Zoe, before the trip, and who was rescued by Sheldrick Trust from the Masai Mara.

They will now begin undertaking their voluntary work helping to make a difference by participating in either teaching activities at local schools or building and maintenance projects.

We look forward to sharing updates!
