RESIDENTIAL VISITS
The children are given regular opportunities to go on educational visits to enhance their learning. These can range from visits within the local community to trips further afield to museums and other places of interest. A residential trip to a PGL activity centre is offered to pupils in Year 6. Comprehensive risk assessments are carried out before any visit is undertaken.
Pupils can derive much educational benefit from participating in school visits. In particular, they have an opportunity to undergo experiences not available in the classroom. As a school, we recognise that visits help to develop a pupil’s investigative skills and residential visits, in particular, encourage greater independence.
Possible Venue WINDMILL HILL
