Educational Visits & Residentials
At The Aquila School, we believe that school trips and visits and local residentials are an essential part of a pupil's education.
They provide pupils with the opportunity to learn in a different and exciting environment, and to develop important life skills such as independence, problem-solving, and teamwork.
The Benefits
Benefits of school trips and visits and residentials are:
They bring subjects to life
When pupils visit a place or see something for themselves, they are more likely to remember what they have learned. For example, a trip to a museum can help pupils to learn about history and art in a more engaging way than simply reading about it.
They boost self-confidence and independence
Residentials can give pupils the opportunity to step outside of their comfort zone and try new things. This can help them to build their self-confidence and independence.
They encourage teamwork and problem-solving
When pupils work together to overcome challenges, they learn how to work as a team and solve problems effectively. These are important skills that will benefit them in all areas of their lives.
