Children often learn a great deal out of the classroom. However good the classroom environment, there is nothing like the first-hand experience for effective teaching.
We are very keen to give children regular trips out.
We are fortunate to be close to places of great historical interest, not to mention some of the leading galleries, museums and theatres in the country.
At Walnut Tree Walk, we have carefully thought about and mapped out the key experiences we would like the children to have whilst at primary school.
This includes going to a beach, a castle, a village outside of London, a London sightseeing tour, experiencing a West End show, and going on a residential, amongst many other places such as all of the major museums and galleries.
The illustration below outlines the main trips the children will typically experience, although a couple of these are subject to booking availability.
Each year, Years 5 and 6 take part in workshops at Into University, an organisation that encourages children from a young age to have aspirations about going to university.
This culminates in a graduation ceremony at a real London university.
In Year 6 the children go on a school journey for five days.
Here they learn about getting on with other people and understanding themselves in relation to others, lessons that are important in life both in school and beyond.
