Trips, Visits & Residentials
All children are invited to take part in school trips and activities to widen their educational experiences and provide lasting memories.
At Oakwood, trips and visits start in Reception such day visits to Bucklebury Farm and in Years 1 and 2, other trips and visits might include Milestones Museum or The Look Out in Bracknell. The children also enjoy a wide range of visitors who come into school, for example; drumming workshops, portals from the past, and speakers from different religions.
At Greenfields, children enjoy an impressive range of trips and residential experiences. In years 3 and 4 many of the trips are closely related to specific subjects such as the visit to Butser Farm that supports their learning of the Stone Age and the trip to the Ufton Court in Year 4 that links with their learning on Anglo-Saxons. They also have the opportunity to participate in an overnight residential at the Gordon Brown Centre where they can take part in climbing, orienteering and camping.
In Upper Key Stage 2 children have the opportunity to attend another residential visit. This allows them to take part in activities to build their resilience, confidence and collaboration. It also develops their independence and ability to care and look after themselves as they spend time away from home – often for the first time.
