Educational Visits and Workshops

Over the course of the year, we take our pupils on off-site educational visits. These range from visits to the farm to local museums. We encourage all pupils to attend these visits, as not only are they highly engaging learning experiences for our pupils, but they also provide our children with vital cultural capital they need as they grow up.

In addition, we bring new experiences to children in school through workshops and in-school events. These workshops and events build on and enrich the learning pupils are doing in lessons.
