Educational Visits
For each half term topic, a well thought-through learning opportunity is provided to both contextualise and deepen learning, whilst encouraging a love of the learning. This enrichment opportunity could be a trip out or a visitor or experience in school.

In addition, sporting opportunities are provided throughout the year for all pupils; attending events, tournaments or skill based sessions with other local schools.
In Year 4 a residential gives pupils the opportunity to experience time away from home in a safe but challenging outdoor environment. This trip encourages teamwork, resilience, problem solving, initiative and empathy.....all our values here at Lawn.
In Year 6, a longer residential develops pupils independence further and encourages pupils to take safe risks, have a strong growth mind-set and prepares them for being secondary ready.
