Noticeboard : School Visits 
In accordance with our Educational Visits policy, we encourage educational visits and outdoor activities and ensure that they are organised, led and run in the safest possible way.
This is based on the following key principles:
- Educational visits make an essential contribution towards the provision of a broad and balanced curriculum, providing young people with opportunities to learn which cannot be replicated in the classroom.
- This school and the LA operate within a framework of policy, procedure, guidance and support that provides reassurance for governors, teachers, parents and the children themselves. We ensure that educational visits are safe and are offered as a regular part of the provision for children in our school.
- Educational visits are organised, led and run in the safest possible way and health and safety considerations are always given the highest priority.
- No child is denied access to an educational visit or outdoor activity because of disadvantage.
- All educational visits and off site activities are planned with educational outcomes as the main principle objective.
- Children should experience risk in a controlled and safe manner and be encouraged to participate in evaluating risk as part of their learning.
- All lead staff involved with educational visits receive the correct level of training, information and guidance to ensure their competence, and have access to continuing professional development.
As well as educational visits, we also arrange for visitors to come into school to do interesting and exciting things with the children.
Please see below for this year's visits.
Between 26th and 29th June, children in years 3 and 4 were taken to FILEY for an overnight stay at MUSTON GRANGE. The children behaved impeccably and made the most of every minute of their time away. These were the highlights according to some of the children in Miss Sarson's class:
 "I loved walking along the beach to Filey Brigg and seeing shells and rocks deep in the
sand (Dominic)
"The best thing was when we had a picnic on the hard bumpy rocks on Filey Brigg" (Lauren P)
"The best bit was the dorms with the cool bunkbeds, the great thing about Filey was Mr Woodings making people" (Charlotte)
"I loved being able to go rockpooling with my mates and I enjoyed going to the graveyard and learning about Filey" (Matthew W)
"The best bit was when the girls had a midnight feast at 11pm" (Camille)
"We went right to the end of Filey Brigg. There were loads of rock pools, with lots of creatures like fish, crabs and shrimps" (Amy)
"The play area was really good fun because they have an assault course and tyre swings, which
were really fun" (Eleanor L)
On Friday 6th July all the children in foundation stage and KS1 visited EUREKA! in Halifax, where they were able to find out how the body and senses work, discovered the realities of daily life, explored the science behind sound, rhythm and and lots more!
~ Y3/4 Local History Educational Visit - Friday 11th May Y3/4 children have been particularly busy with their local history topic this term.
They enjoyed an inspiring history walk and visit to Dringhouses Library (the old village school), where Mrs Wilson gave a fascinating account of school life 100 years ago. Miss Sarson says that the children particularly enjoyed the more gruesome aspects such as behaviour discipline! The walk also revealed where plague victims exchanged money for food and the story of Dick Turpin altogether a really enjoyable morning! This was followed on 11th May by a historic tour of York Theatre Royal plus a walk on part of the walls and short visit to the Art Gallery. To round off the topic, Y3/4 children will be treated to a grand tour of York with York Bus Tour Company, complete with an experienced tour guide on board!
