Educational Visits

We are firmly committed to the provision of regular educational visits for the children, to enhance the school curriculum. Each term class teachers, together with the children plan a visit that links to the topic they are learning about. Popular destinations include Eastnor Castle, Techniquest, Cardiff Museum and The Roald Dahl Museum.

Muddy Puddles - Year 6 July 2021

In July our year 6 children had a fantastic time on their trip to Muddy Puddles.  In the morning they took part in a variety of obstacle courses and also got to meet the different animals on the farm.

After lunch they enjoyed getting stuck into the mud and working in teams.

They finished their adventure on the big water slide which was their favourite part!

Great memories everyone!

Cotswold Wildlife Park - June 2021

Van Gogh class visited Cotswold Wildlife Park and fortunately the sun was shining. We loved exploring the park and seeing animals we had never seen before. We braved the reptile house, seeing incredible snakes, even an anaconda! We saw lots of nocturnal animals that were very smelly, especially the bats.

One of the keepers gave us a talk about rainforests, showing us a variety of animals that live there. She was really impressed by our knowledge of rainforests.

We enjoyed eating ice-creams with our friends as a treat. We loved getting up close to such a variety of animals, although the penguins in particular were getting a little too close and thought we were going to feed them! Whilst eating our lunch, we were joined by a very inquisitive peacock, hoping to share our lunch.

In the afternoon we visited the giraffes and lions and even saw a baby rhino.

The children behaved beautifully and were a credit to us all. What a fantastic day out!

Newbridge Farm Park - Nursery

Today our Nursery children visited Newbridge Farm Park.   We all had a fantastic time, having our very own tractor ride and playing together on the zip wire, in the sand pits and meeting the animals!

It was a very peaceful journey on the way home, with the children sleeping after their fun packed day! Thank you to those parents who came along to help on this trip—it was a great success!

Oakerwood - June 2021 (Year 5 & 6)

At the beginning of June our year 5 and 6 children set off on their Oakerwood Adventure! They all had a fantastic time taking part in a wide variety of adventurous activities, including rope courses, a zip wire run, tree climbs, invasion games and target shooting. This is such an enriching experience for our children, where they have the opportunity to grow in skills and confidence as well as supporting and encouraging one another.

Green Spider Climbing - Class 1 June 2021

In June our Reception children—Kandinsky Class ventured to Green Spider Climbing Centre as part of their topic—Super Heroes., where they had the opportunity to practise their physical development skills.  The children had an fantastic time and were true super heroes!  Everybody tried their best and worked together as a team to support each other in their climbing efforts.  They  came back to school full of enthusiasm and confidence!

Year 5 and 6 enjoy an annual residential trip, this is very popular with the children. We strongly encourage all parents to allow their children to attend this valuable experience. Parents are asked to make contributions towards the costs of visits; covering travel and admission charges. Without such contributions, educational visits would not be financially viable.

Planned visits for this academic year:
