Trips and Visits
As part of our commitment to delivering a broad and balanced curriculum, we recognise the value of educational trips and visits in enriching the learning and overall experience that our pupils have at school. Mapped against our Progression of Skills documents and with carefully planned learning outcomes, school trips add valuable context and real-life experiences to our class-based teaching. We also take every opportunity to explore our local environment both within the school grounds and in the wider community and enjoy good relationships with local businesses and providers.
The cost of school visits within the school day is met by the school. However, we do ask for 'voluntary contributions' whenever these trips take place. If there are insufficient contributions then the trip may have to be cancelled.
Our trips and local visits programme is regularly reviewed and include:
Butser Ancient Farm
Fishbourne Roman Palace
Nower Wood
Bracknell Look Out Centre
Natural History Museum
Residential Trips
The school also runs three very successful residential trips during the school year for Years 4-6.
Year Four
In the Summer term Year Four visit Walton Firs, Cobham. Here they stay one night in wooden pods and take part in an extensive range of activities for all the children to enjoy. Multi-skilled activities will encourage team building and leadership skills as well as personal confidence. Activities include archery, challenge course, problem solving, Jacob's Ladder and low level ropes.
Year Five
The children in Year Five enjoy a 2 night visit to Hooke Court, Dorset. They take part in many activities and finish with a field study at Wey Beach to discover how the coastline was formed and explore the shape and speed of the river along its path.
Year Six
Year Six enjoy a 4 night stay at PGL Barton Hall in July and take part in Kayaking, Climbing, Archery and Jacob's Ladder.
