Educational visits are an important aspect of the curriculum and are generally used to support class topic work. The majority of such visits are to places in the local or Midlands area. This is partly to keep down costs and also to increase the children’s interest, knowledge and awareness of their local environment. The venues for our visits may include: |
Local short walk – shops, local facilities.
The Birmingham Science Museum.
Local Sikh and Hindu Temples.
Mary Arden House.
Pendeford Mill Farm.
The Black Country Museum.
Cosford Grange Farm.
Oak Hall.
Wroxeter Roman City . |
 |
Voluntary contributions are requested for the payment of such visits but we will do our utmost to ensure that no child will be excluded from the visit on financial grounds. |
During the final term pupils are given the opportunity to take part in a five-day residential course at Barmouth. As well as experiencing the pleasure and responsibilities of communal living the pupils have the opportunity to extend skills learned in the classroom to the real environment. Work covers aspects of the National Curriculum in Geography, History and Science via practical activities such as map reading and orienteering, castle visits and beach studies.

We give all our children the opportunity to take part in events which will improve their confidence in front of other children or adults. During the Spring or Summer Term the children participate in a class assembly during which they may have to recite from memory an explanation of an activity carried out in class, perform a song or dance or show paintings or models produced in class. |
 |
The Harvest Assembly and Christmas and Summer Concerts give the children the further opportunity to perform in front of a wider audience comprising of parents, governors and friends.
A variety of school activities are open to all children, notice of which will be given to each child at the beginning of every term.
