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.


They broaden pupils' horizons

Educational visits and residentials can expose pupils to new cultures, places, and experiences. This can help them to develop a better understanding of the world around them and to become more tolerant and open-minded individuals.

They create lasting memories

These are often experiences that pupils will remember for the rest of their lives. They can provide pupils with a chance to bond with their classmates and teachers, and to create memories that they will cherish for years to come.
