| The curriculum is based on the belief that alongside the basic skills of reading, writing and mathematics, there should be opportunities for creative interests in Art, Craftwork, Music, PE and Drama and the development of a general interest in Science and the environment. Much of our work is taught through themes, which are backed up by Educational Visits to places of interest and Museums. Visits to the school by experts in their particular field are also encouraged. Parents, helpers are welcome to bring the real world into the classroom. We believe that our children should have the opportunity to experience the curriculum through real experiences. |

| Since we are no longer permitted to levy a charge for school outings or field courses, we are entirely dependent upon voluntary contributions from parents in order for these to take place. |
| |
| In view of recent advice received from the Department of Education, we have to inform you that payment for visits are at the discretion of the parent and that any contribution will be viewed as being voluntary. It is important for us to stress, however, that in the event of an inadequate number of parental contributions being received, it will not be possible for a visit to take place. |
| |
| We do hope that you will be able to offer your support to school in our endeavours to offer broad educational experiences to our children and that you will feel able to forward a contribution to cover the cost of your child’s participation in all visits. |

| Each year we will arrange a residential visit with Years 5 & 6 for a week or weekend. On alternate years we hope to take the children to Whitby and Habershon House in Filey, a Field Study Centre owned by Rotherham. This encourages independence and working together as a team as well as an opportunity to carry out field studies in the chosen topic for that term. |
