Y2 - Y6 Educational Residentials for this academic year

As part of our plan for this academic year, we have now arranged educational residentials linked to our INSPIRE curriculum for the children in each class from Years 2 - 6. We feel that these experiences are a vital part of children’s learning, both educationally and socially and for each residential will be maximising the range of experiences that the children encounter.
