We like to take our children out of school. This means going to places within the Rotherham area or beyond and, as you will see in school, visits are followed up in writing, drawing, number, geography and other work.
Such visits are not merely “trips out” but they are carefully planned to develop the child’s understanding of an area of interest, and work will be followed up, on our return to school. The children not only enjoy visits, but also produce work from them, of which they can be justifiably proud.
The school likes to take the older children on residential visits of up to a week.
We have in the past few years been to:-
Kingswood Centre, Norfolk (2007, 2008)
France (2006, 2007 and 2008)
London (2008)
Residential visits not only provide a source for detailed academic study, but also a time for developing social and inter-personal skills.
All visits are thoroughly supervised by staff and are a source of learning and pleasure for the children.
All coaches hired by school have seat belt provision, and conform with LEA recommendations. |
