Residential and day visits are enjoyed by all year groups and have become an integral part of our curriculum. These visits provide excellent opportunities for education in the environment while offering our pupils greater independence, social and self-awareness and respect for each other and the wider community.

Lower 1 had an exciting day out as they visited the enchanting world of BeWILDerwood to bring their English lessons to life! The trip was designed to help the pupils explore settings and characters in a fun, hands-on way — and it did not disappoint. From the moment they arrived, the children were immersed in the magical setting of BeWILDerwood, home to curious creatures and thrilling adventures. They crossed the Broken Bridge, carefully making their way across the wobbly planks just like the heroes in the stories they’ve been studying. They met Mildred the Crocklebog, who lurks in the Spooky Lake, sparking imaginations and inspiring fantastic character descriptions. The day continued with daring climbs and giggles as they tackled the Slippery Slopes, proving themselves brave explorers. The trip was not only packed with fun but also gave the pupils fresh ideas and experiences to bring back to the classroom. Their adventures at BeWILDerwood will now help them create vivid settings and colourful characters in their own writing.

Lower Two embarked on an exciting residential trip to London , packed with history and adventure. We began at the London Eye, taking in iconic landmarks like Big Ben and Buckingham Palace from above. At the Paddington Experience, we immersed ourselves in the world of the beloved bear, followed by a scenic Thames River Cruise offering a fresh perspective on the city’s sights. After a night's stay at St Paul's, The Tower of London brought history to life, especially the pirate prisoner workshop, where pupils engaged in dramatic storytelling and interactive role-playing! Our trip ended on a high note with The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre. The vibrant costumes, puppetry, and music made for an unforgettable performance. Tired but exhilarated, we headed home, knowing this London adventure would stay with us forever.

Lower 1 had an exciting trip to Strangers’ Hall, where they learned more about the Great Fire of London. They explored a real Tudor house, discovering what homes were like in 1666 and examining historical items from the time. As part of their learning, the children sorted objects into “safe” and “not safe,” understanding how the fire spread so quickly. To bring history to life, they took part in a drama activity, acting out key moments from the Great Fire of London. It was a fun and educational morning, helping everyone imagine what life was like during this important historical event!
