We enrich our children’s learning through a variety of educational visits, residentials and a wide range of extra-curricular activities. We believe that school trips are an important and enjoyable complement to the children’s learning. Trips are organised to be directly relevant to topic work.
In the last couple of years, our pupils have enjoyed the following trips:

We also invite visitors into the school to run workshops, perform plays or tell children about work they do (e.g. Punch and Judy, Magistrates Visit, Jump!, maths puzzle days, etc.). They provide memorable, practical experiences that would not otherwise be possible or as effective.
Residential
In Year 6, a residential trip gives pupils a marvellous opportunity to bond with their schoolmates and to get a taste of independence from home, whilst still in the secure care of their teachers. They experience an exciting range of activities – abseiling, canoeing, archery, fencing and more.
Many Year 6 parents have observed how opportunities like this trip, and the always-ambitious and impressive summer term production, prepare their children effectively for the move to secondary school, encouraging them to try new things and discover confidence in their new abilities.
