School Trips
As part of our enriched and engaging curriculum children in all year groups take part in a wide range of educational trips and visits. These carefully chosen experiences help to make learning meaningful and brings our curriculum to life as they make real world connections to their learning.
Year 6 Young Voices
Year 6 had a fantastic time at the Young Voices concert this year. After months of rehearsals they sang and danced the night away with a choir made up of schools across the country. All of the staff that went with them were so proud of how they represented the school and the incredible teamwork on display throughout the day.
My favourite part was the hip-hop dance. Urban Strides were amazing!
It was so much fun. Even better than residential!
There were so many people there. I loved the singing and the dancing and the shouting!
We had a great time. I loved the lights, they looked like stars. I had no idea how big it would be.
Year 5 The Story Museum
The Story Museum in Oxford. It was a truly magical experience. The children explored the museum, getting lost in various worlds, full of their favourite characters. They even had a chance to enter the magical wardrobe for a glimpse of Narnia. We got to hear the whispering trees and wrote and performed the Loki stories. The trip truly brought stories to life and inspired many thoughtful conversations back in school.

Year 1 Stroud Book Festival
In November our Year 1 class had a wonderful time visiting the Stroud Book Festival to see the author and illustrator Jarvis. The children were full of excitement as they listened carefully to Jarvis sharing his stories, characters and ideas behind his books. They loved hearing how stories can begin from simple thoughts, pictures and imagination, which inspired lots of curiosity and thoughtful questions.
One of the highlights of the visit was taking part in a live drawing session. The children watched closely as Jarvis drew step by step, showing them how characters can be created using simple shapes and lines. Many children were keen to join in, practising their own drawings and feeling proud of what they produced.
I read them with my mum at night and I even heard him read them!
We saw a real author!
