Magdalen Court School
Snow Sports Club

Letters & Info @ bottom of page

The school runs a trip to the mountains each Spring. 

Leading up to this we run 2 dry-ski slope courses, one for 6 weeks in the first half of the autumn term at Exeter & District Dry Ski Club & then after ½ term 6 weeks at Plymouth Dry ski slope.

Pupils are free to join these sessions each week regardless of whether they intend to join the school in the snow. Some students utilise this extensive program  to complete their Duke of Edinburgh Award physical section.

Many pupils ski, year on year with us, clocking up 6 or 7 trips in their time in school, to make each trip as valuable for them as possible, we endeavour to visit different resort each year in different countries.
