Trips and residentials

We like to take children out of the classroom and into the real world as often as we can. We’re lucky enough to have some fantastic opportunities right on our doorstep including, of course, Kew Gardens - but we also travel across London and further afield in search of new and enriching experiences for our children.

The EYFS children enjoy trips to Bocketts Park Farm, Kew Gardens and the Wetland Centre. Years 1 and 2 have been to Chiltern Open Air Museum, Florence Nightingale Museum, Gunnersbury Park Museum, London Zoo, Painshill Park and Neasden Temple. Year 3 pupils have visited The National Gallery, St Paul’s Cathedral, Fishbourne Roman Palace near Chichester and make a one-night residential trip to PGL. In Year 4, children undertake a two-night residential trip to Bowles Activity Centre in East Sussex, while in Year 5, they enjoy a weekend experiencing Tudor life at Hooke Court in Dorset.

Children in Year 6 have two residential visits. In the Autumn Term, there’s an unforgettable ‘back to nature’ camping experience. On the overnight trip, children build campfires, sleep in shelters they’ve built themselves, and make and cook their own food. In the Summer Term, they spend a memorable week in Normandy, immersing themselves in French life and culture. Other trips include the Houses of Parliament, theatre and Junior Citizen.
