Turing Trip to Japan
Thank you for supporting our students on
this incredible journey!
Launched in 2021 by the Department
of Education, the Turing Scheme is a
government-funded student exchange
programme designed to highlight the
benefits of overseas learning. The
initiative enables students to explore
diverse cultures, gain work
experience, and develop essential
transferable skills such as teamwork,
communication and language
proficiency. Crucially, it also offers
disadvantaged students opportunities
they may never otherwise have had,
opening doors to a world of
possibilities.
Through the scheme, students can
take part in internships, volunteer
placements, university experiences,
and language immersion programmes,
tailoring their journey to align with their
ambitions and future goals.
While the grant covers travel
essentials, all activities and excursions
in Tokyo must be self-funded.
To make this trip truly memorable,
students across the three schools are
working tirelessly to raise money
through a variety of initiatives,
including:
Easter Tombola
Cake sales and tuck shop
Movie nights and quiz events
Mother's Day Gift stall
Name the teddy bear
Sponsored bike rides

WHSmith in Chester.
With full flexibility in designing their
itinerary, trip leaders have planned an
exciting and enriching schedule.
Students hope to visit Mount Fuji,
Tokyo9s historic temples, Ueno Zoo (a
renowned conservation site),
museums, and other cultural
landmarks that showcase the richness
of Japan9s history and heritage.
For many students, this will be their
first time travelling abroad, and for
some, their first-ever trip without
family. Given the life-changing nature
of this journey, students are carefully
curating wish lists of experiences,
recognising that this might be a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity.
