We are visitors!

Learning beyond the classroom allows children to experience life in an educational context outside the school gates whilst also allowing children to socialise with peers in a different way. It also gives children an opportunity to visit places they otherwise may not experience.

There are many benefits of school trip; immersing children in the things they have been learning in class, helping them to understand their learning, giving it a context and connecting the knowledge learnt in the classroom.

Visiting a place or seeing a sight that the children have been learning about, develops their enthusiasm and supports their ability to talk about their learning back in the classroom. This also leads to higher achievement in class, as seeing things in real life builds a story making it easier to retain the knowledge and retrieve it from memory.
