Residential Visits
Upper Junior classes are offered the opportunity of a residential visit each year. The trips are an extension of the work in class and involve both preparation and follow up work.
The visits are usually to Youth Hostels in either a coastal or inland situation that is very different from our own. The social development of children also plays a very important part on these visits. Children and staff take advantage of full board at the hostels although children are required and encouraged to take on certain ‘chores’ during their stay.
This year our upper school children went to Stow on the Wold. They travelled there in our minibuses which stayed with them for the whole week. They started their journey shortly after registration on the Monday and were back at school by 3.25pm on the Friday. A meeting is always arranged just before the visit giving parents information on the week's events.
There is a charge of £180 for this year's residential which represents very good value for money. This includes transport to and from Stow and throughout the week, accommodation, all food and drink, entry to places of interest and pocket money for the week.
The children thoroughly enjoy their week away with their class and teacher.
We hope that all children are able to attend all our residential visits whilst in the upper school.
