Educational Visits

In Prep School, pupils will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of excursions and visits, providing invaluable learning experiences that support the curriculum.

Visits have included:

• Year 6 ‘Rock Pool’ trip to Robin Hood's Bay, supporting the Science curriculum

• Theatre and cinema trips, supporting literacy

• Visits to museums, supporting history and geography

• Visits to local churches in Drax, Selby and Brayton as part of the Religious Studies curriculum

• Annual residential excursions for pupils in Years 3 – 6 to East Barnby Outdoor Adventure Centre in North Yorkshire, to Bewerley Park Centre for Outdoor Education at Pateley Bridge, near Harrogate, or to the Hollowford Centre on the edge of the Peak District

• Year 6 visit to ‘Crucial Crew’ in York, run by North Yorkshire Police

• Participation in the ‘Young Voices’ concert at Sheffield Arena.

Letters providing all relevant details of visits will be sent out to parents beforehand and parents are required to give permission via a return slip. Parents' Evenings are also held before residential visits to give you all the information you need and an opportunity to answer any questions/queries you may have.

Smart uniform appropriate to the time of year should be worn on most visits (you will be advised which ones do not require this) and this helps give the children a sense of identity and responsibility, fostering pride in being part of Read School.
