Trips & Residentials

Educational trips and residentials provide unique opportunities for children to learn outside the classroom, develop important life skills, and are an important part of a child's learning experience. These experiences are designed to complement the curriculum and enhance the children's learning in a fun and engaging way.

We understand the importance of caregivers and parental involvement in our trips and residentials, so we provide detailed information about each trip, including the itinerary, activities, and safety measures in place.

Local visits

Local school visits are one of many ways for children to gain knowledge on topics taught in our curriculum, while engaging with their local community.

Some of the local trips our pupils have been on are:

London Zoo and farm trips, where pupils meet animals and learn about them
Kilburn library, to explore the library environment, books and occasionally meet authors
London Wetlands, a day trip packed with activities ranging from a nature trail to a puppet show
Science Museum and its Wonderlab
Tower Bridge, where pupils learn about the history of the bridge, how the drawbridge works and also visit other London nearby landmarks
Natural History Museum
Maritime Museum
Postal Museum
Hampstead Heath

Peter Gordon Lawrence Adventure Centre

A two-day residential trip at Bawdsey Manor has been organised for summer 2024, for the third year running. Our Year 6 students will be able to engage in a variety of activities such as climbing, abseiling and archery, in a safe and supportive environment.

This thrilling experience is designed to build resilience, independence, confidence and team building skills. While on this trip we also aim to equip your child with valuable communication and problem-solving skills. This experience will undoubtedly create lasting memories for your child while fostering important personal growth.

Years 4 and 5: residential in Berkshire

In April 2025, our Year 4 and Year 5 pupils enjoyed their very first residential trip to our sister school, Evendons Primary School, part of the BPET family. Children camped overnight on the school grounds, making full use of the woodland and play areas while engaging in a wide variety of outdoor learning activities. They took part in tree identification and leaf printing, enjoyed campfire singing, and roasted marshmallows together – a wonderful way to build friendships and confidence in a safe, supportive setting.

The visit also included a trip to the local adventure centre, where children challenged themselves with exciting activities such as zip lining and archery. These opportunities encouraged resilience, teamwork, and self-belief, while also helping pupils to develop a deeper appreciation for the outdoors.

We hope to give future year groups the chance to experience this valuable learning opportunity. It also provides an excellent foundation for our Year 6 residential, helping pupils to build confidence and independence in preparation for their next adventure.
