Trips, Visits & Visitors

At Thringstone, we believe some of the most powerful learning happens beyond the classroom. Whether it’s exploring a new environment, speaking with an expert or trying something for the first time, we know these experiences stay with children long after the lesson ends.

Every class enjoys trips and visits linked to their learning. These might be to local museums, outdoor spaces or cultural sites. We also bring experts into school so children can learn directly from people with specialist knowledge. These opportunities bring learning to life and help children make meaningful connections.

Residential Visits

From Year 4 onwards, children are offered the chance to take part in residential visits. These are a special part of our offer and create lasting memories.

They help children grow in confidence, build independence and strengthen friendships. For many, they are a highlight of their time at primary school.

• Year 4-6: Overnight residentials at either Beaumanor Hall in Leicestershire, Aylmerton Field Study Centre in Norfolk or Walesby Forest in Nottinghamshire

These trips offer adventure, teamwork and challenge - helping children to believe in themselves and try new things.
