Key Stage 2
A 'trip out' is a great educational experience in itself, comparing the normal school environment with somewhere new. The excitement generated creates a lasting memory, which can stimulate all sorts of positive learning outcomes.
By their very nature, most of the topics we offer are cross-curricular, covering many facets of the curriculum. Use the menu bar on the left to explore topics on offer in Hall, Farm, Walled Garden and Park. The visit below could be taken in any of those areas.
