School trips
Learning throughout the school is enhanced by the provision of regular school trips. Many areas of the curriculum are made more memorable and can be brought to life by visiting the actual site of a battle, seeing the remains of life from long ago or by being part of a drama production. The opportunities are endless and so we ensure our day trips are carefully planned, have a specific learning outcome in mind, are shared amongst all of the age groups and are spread out throughout the year so that pupils always have something to look forward to.
