School visits are an essential part of our curriculum work. They provide opportunities for children to experience, first hand, many topics studied in the classroom. All visits are carefully planned and organised by teachers and range from short local visits, which make use of the immediate environment, to more extended journeys. Teachers carry out detailed Risk Assessments before all visits take place.

Charges for Educational Visits

When an educational visit is arranged for your child, you will be asked to make a contribution towards the cost of trip of a specified amount. Under the 1988 Education Act, any such contribution can only be voluntary, but clearly without such contributions it would not be possible to finance these visits which are of such benefit to the children. Naturally, if any parent has particular difficulty in paying for a visit they are most welcome to come and discuss the matter with the Head Teacher.
