Tell me about..... Trips in BISA!

Whilst we provide a rich, broad, balanced curriculum on a daily basis, day and residential excursions are an essential element of our broader curriculum. Integrating classroom studies to the wider world, students make important links, seeing theory in practise. Experience has shown us that, as a result of this exposure, students across the age range become more insightful, enquiring, responsible and motivated.  Day excursions are scheduled for all year groups from Crèche upwards at least once every term, and are directly related to the learning taking place in the classroom. Our residential field trips are enjoyed by the majority of our students (Y4 +) and combine both academic knowledge and application.

During these excursions, health, safety and security are at the forefront of organisation.  Risk assessments are carried out, procedures and expectations are clearly laid out for the students, child to adult ratios are followed and communication between the trip and the school is strong. For all of the reasons (and many, many more) we encourage all students to grasp every available opportunity to participate.  Our trips policy, which outlines in more detail the procedures and regulations regarding off-site visits, is available on request.
