Day Trips 

All classes take part in educational day trips throughout the year to enrich and support the curriculum. These trips are thoughtfully planned and regularly updated to reflect the evolving needs and interests of our children.

Examples of trips taking place this academic year (2025–2026) include:

• Trips to our linked local church 
• River visits 
• Museum visits, including Year 6 visiting the Mary Rose

Residentials

Year 6 Residental - Calshot Activity Centre 

Each year, our Year 6 pupils embark on a week-long residential to Calshot Activities Centre, set in the stunning New Forest, Hampshire. This enriching experience blends outdoor adventure with hands-on learning, all while living out our core values of courage, compassion, and creativity.

Curriculum Connections Through geography and science fieldwork, children:

• Map and measure rivers with precision

• Test soil acidity levels

• Investigate coastal erosion and natural processes

• Discover fascinating beach and marine life in the Solent

These activities creatively reinforce classroom learning, especially our ‘Source to Sea’ geography topic, and develop essential Skills for Learning such as observation, analysis, and teamwork.

Adventurous Activities Children show courage as they take on exciting challenges like:

• Skiing

• Climbing

• Archery

• Low and high ropes

• Indoor Go Ape

• Cycling in the velodrome

These experiences build resilience, confidence, and a strong sense of achievement.

Reflection and Celebration Each day ends with reflection, celebration of successes, and a hearty dinner. Children demonstrate compassion by supporting one another and creativity in how they approach challenges and share their learning.
