West
Kidlington Primary School and Nursery is delighted to offer a number
of school visits, from nursery through to year 6, to both enhance the
curriculum and build life skills, such as confidence, team work, a
sense of community, and curiosity beyond the school gates. The
culmination of this is a residential trip for the year 6 students to
ready them for the next stage of their school life.
Enriching
Experiences
Spending
time away from their desk on a school trip is a fantastic way for
your child to experience a variety of exciting new situations. What’s
more, they’ll be able to apply their learning in real-world
contexts and develop skills —
both social and academic —
in a fun, safe environment.
Your
child will have the chance to see new things and learn about them in
an active, holistic way. Our school trips are structured to bring
learning to life and give your child a sense of agency over what, and
how, they learn. Your child will absorb information and pick up on
details that could only be presented in a textual or abstract way in
the classroom.
Strengthening
Social Ties
Our
school trips are also designed to give your child the opportunity to
unwind, to be rewarded for their efforts and achievements, and to
strengthen their social bonds with other pupils.
Fun,
memorable experiences held beyond the classroom will leave your child
with a positive outlook on their education, and present important
opportunities for them to demonstrate the skills and values they have
learned in school.
Back in the classroom, these shared experiences can be called on to reinforce and energise your child’s learning.
