Experiences Overview
At Orchard Primary Academy we believe that school visits are a vital component of primary education, offering children immersive, real-world experiences that enrich their learning beyond the classroom walls. These excursions not only provide practical applications of classroom lessons but also spark curiosity and enthusiasm for various subjects.
In addition to the planned visits below, our children will also benefit from a diverse range of exciting whole school activity days and workshops designed to support the personal development curriculum. These activities are carefully crafted to foster creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking, helping students to build essential life skills. By participating in these enriching experiences, children gain a deeper understanding of the world around them, which contributes to their overall growth and development.
Here are the planned educational visits and visitors for 2024-2025
We also pride ourselves on the extra curricular opportunities on offer. Please see the timetable below for our Autumn term after school club availability 2024-2025:
