Trips and Excursions

Field trips – both day trips and residential visits are an ideal way for children to experience their environment at first hand. Whilst text books and classroom resources provide excellent school based facilities there is no substitute for actually being ‘on the spot’. To see a child’s face when they handle genuine historical artefacts; trace a river valley; view and understand portraits in National Galleries or succeed in challenging themselves physically to achieve a goal they never believed they were capable of, is invaluable and enriches education enormously. Details of day trips can be found on the term card or the School calendar.

At Yarm Preparatory School we value all the experiences provided by parents for their children and we recognise that, as families, you will invest much time in visiting places of interest, both locally and nationally. Our programme of Residential visits builds on these experiences and enables the staff to directly focus visits to enrich our curriculum. Wherever possible and appropriate, experts will supplement the skills of our teaching staff to provide the detailed knowledge required to enable a child to gain the most from their visit.
