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.

Cardiff Museum - Nov 2019

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.

Oaker Wood - Class 4 residential October 2019

Every January KS2 rehearse for Young Voices. This is a massive event held at Birmingham's Genting Arena. School from all over the region send children to sing as a massed choir. The children practice all the songs before the event and on the evening they perform with popular musicians and dancers. Parents can also enjoy this experience as they are able to purchase tickets for the show too.

Young Voices - January 2020

In addition to arranging educational visits, the school regularly hosts visiting artists, musicians and authors who perform to the children and lead workshops. We were also delighted to send children to see HRH Prince Charles visit Ross in November 2019.
Any parents who would like to accompany their child on a school trip are most welcome, please speak to your child’s class teacher to arrange this in advance and so appropriate safeguarding checks can be arranged.
