Aims 

Educational visits are activities arranged by or on behalf of the school, and which take place outside the school grounds. The governors and teaching staff believe that off-site activities can supplement and enrich the curriculum of the school by providing experiences which would otherwise be impossible. All off-site activities serve an educational purpose, enhancing and enriching our children’s learning experiences. 

The aims of our off-site visits are to: 

• enhance learning;
• raise achievement by enhancing confidence and self-esteem; 
• develop key skills such as collaboration, independence, teamwork, problem-solving and resilience, enabling learners to grow and progress in new learning environments; 
• enhance curricular and recreational opportunities for our pupils, providing a wider range of experiences which could not be provided on the school site alone; 
• promote healthy and active lifestyles; 
• promote education for sustainable development.
