The governors and teaching staff believe that off-site activities can supplement and enrich the curriculum of the school by providing experiences which would otherwise be impossible. All off-site activities must serve an educational purpose, enhancing and enriching our children’ learning experiences.
We plan and evaluate all of our off-site visits and ensure that any risks are managed and kept to a minimum for the safety and health of all pupils at all times. We seek to make sure our visits are available to all pupils and wherever possible, make them accessible to those with disabilities. The visits usually take place within the school day, but on occasions, take place after-school.
Activities include:
English – theatre visits
History and Geography – Local studies, use of the locality for fieldwork, visits linked to topics e.g. visit to Chester to discover more about the Romans
Music – Visits from Bridgnorth Sinfonia, participation in the ‘Young Voices’ choir
PE – a range of sporting fixtures, extra-curricular activities, visits by specialist coaches, swimming, Year 6 trip to the Pioneer Centre
RE– Visits from the local Vicar
PSHE – Visits to Sunrise Senior Living, visits by fire officers and local police officers, Assemblies from NSPCC
Red and Yellow Class visit to Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre linked to science.
Green class visit to Wild Zoo.
