Children from primary schools across the Trust have been out and about as part of a number of trips taking place this term.  

From seaside adventures to hands-on learning experiences, pupils of all ages have been given opportunities to discover new places and experiences as well as create lasting memories outside of the classroom. 

Pupils at Westbrook Old Hall Primary School took learning beyond the classroom with a visit to Liverpool Football Academy. The trip gave children the opportunity to test their skills on professional pitches while finding out more about the training and development of elite athletes. 

Celebrations were in order for Year 6 pupils at Burtonwood Community Primary School, who marked the end of their SATs with a well-deserved trip to Tenpin bowling. After a week of hard work and determination, the outing provided a chance for pupils to relax, socialise and enjoy time together. 

At Chapelford Village Primary School, Year 4 pupils enjoyed two days in Llandudno. The trip included a range of activities, such as decorating pebbles along the beach, taking in spectacular views during a tram ride up the Great Orme, and stepping back in time as they explored the Bronze Age Mines.  

Reception children also took their very first school trip to Chester Zoo, linking directly to their studies on animals, habitats and life cycles. The visit helped the children see first-hand how animals live, grow and adapt to their environments while marking a significant milestone in the children’s life at school.  

Adventure continued for Year 2 pupils, who took part in an action-packed residential visit to Gulliver’s World Theme Park. Over two days, the children demonstrated confidence, teamwork and resilience as they tackled a range of challenges. From strategising during laser tag sessions to supporting one another through the Nightline obstacle course and even bucket drumming sessions where pupils composed their own rhythms, the experience highlighted not only the children’s willingness to try new things, but also their ability to work collaboratively and support one another. 

Educational visits like these provide opportunities for pupils to experience the world first-hand, helping to deepen understanding and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to explore, discover and thrive beyond the school gates.
