Residential Trips

Residential Trips

At Robert Le Kyng we believe a lot of valuable learning can be done outside of the classroom environment.

Therefore we provide many exciting trips that will challenge our children in ways staying in the class room simply cannot do. Going on outdoor learning trips makes children more resilient, more determined and more confident as individuals. It also teaches children to be more organised, work as part of a team and take responsibility for themselves. Residential and outdoor learning can prepare children for the real world they will face when they leave school… and of course, residential trips are great fun too!

We have a programme of outdoor learning that covers the whole school.

Our programme is extremely exciting and challenging, but as Robert Le Kyng teachers run most of it, hopefully this makes it affordable to our parents.

Reception, Years 1 & 2

All pupils take part in Forest Schools with outside provider Go Wild! which is linked to the Curriculum.

Year 3

Mr Barnett does outdoor visits related to their curriculum.

Year 4

Two day residential trip to Legge House in Wroughton with Mr Barnett/Robert Le Kyng staff.

Year 5

Have The Big Sleepover – sleeping in tents within school grounds with Mr Barnett/Robert Le Kyng staff.

Year 6

Three day residential at Braeside with both their staff and Robert Le Kyng staff.

These trips are part of our curriculum so the expectation is that your child should attend. If you have any issues with why your child cannot attend, come and speak to Mr Barnett or Mrs Smith so we can help you.

We have many pairs of wellingtons, walking boots, sleeping bags, tents and waterproof coats so equipment is never a problem.
