At Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School, we believe that learning should extend beyond the classroom, giving every child the opportunity to explore, discover, and engage with the world around them, regardless of age, ability, or background.

Educational visits, including day trips, residential visits, and off-site learning activities, are an integral part of our curriculum. These experiences bring classroom learning to life, allowing students to see, hear, and experience concepts in real-world contexts. They also provide opportunities to explore new environments, cultures, and ideas in ways that cannot be fully replicated within the classroom.

Participating in educational visits helps students to:

• Deepen understanding of curriculum subjects through practical, hands-on experiences

• Enhance personal development by building confidence, independence, and resilience

• Develop social skills through teamwork, collaboration, and communication

• Cultivate life skills, including risk awareness, problem-solving, and adaptability

• Foster curiosity and engagement by connecting learning to real-life contexts

Throughout the academic year, we organise a wide range of educational visits tailored to complement and enrich students’ learning in the classroom. These activities are carefully planned to support both academic progress and personal growth, ensuring that all students benefit from meaningful, safe, and inclusive learning experiences outside the school environment.

At Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School, we are committed to providing opportunities that inspire, challenge, and motivate students, helping them become confident learners and well-rounded individuals.
