Trips and Visits

The majority of the trips that children experience throughout their journey from Nursery to Year 2 are linked with their curriculum learning. These will broadly stay the same year on year, so that by the time a child leaves PRL, they will have been afforded many cultural capital enhancing experiences.

School trips provide pupils with immersive learning opportunities outside the traditional classroom environment. Similarly, inviting guest speakers or experts into the school exposes pupils to diverse perspectives and real-world insights, enriching their learning experiences and broadening their horizons. 

Where external trips are planned, the process is overseen by our Educational Visits Coordinator, who has undertaken the relevant Surrey County Council training. 

Costs are kept to a minimum, with no trips intended to make a profit. Consideration for the current economic climate is always taken into account, with those in receipt of certain benefits able to apply for a subsidy to ensure that all children have the opportunity to attend. 

Voluntary Contributions 

We ask families to make a voluntary contribution towards the cost of entitlements. This contribution is voluntary, and neither you nor your child will be treated differently if you are unable or choose not to contribute. However, please note that without voluntary contributions, entitlements may have to be cancelled due to pressures on school budgets. 

Voluntary Contributions for Children in Receipt of Pupil Premium Funding

The Pupil Premium grant is used to support the educational outcomes of pupils. We believe that by offering a range of schools trips and visits we provide the children with valuable real-world learning experiences, fostering social skills, cultural awareness, and a broader perspective on life. Financial contributions from parents can help ensure that the school can continue to offer enriching and diverse educational opportunities for all our pupils.
