Trips and Events

Trips and events offer an exciting diversion from day-to-day life at school. They are also useful for helping children place their academic learning in the context of the wider world, giving it greater meaning. From Reception onwards, each year group enjoys at least one trip a term, visiting a place relevant to their studies. We also invite outside speakers or groups to the school to run events that explore an area being studied. For example, a group called Mexicolore ran a creative workshop on the Aztecs for Year 4.

From Year 5, children go on overnight trips – an enjoyable first experience away from home for many children – building up to the five-night French Trip in Year 6, when children participate in a variety of activities where they are encouraged to speak French. Typical trips include:
