Trips and visits

Trips and visits

Extending learning beyond the classroom and out into the local and wider environment has always been an integral part of school life at Oakley. Every year all classes have a variety of trips related to education in its broadest sense, often covering areas that cannot be covered in a classroom. Visits include theatre trips to see plays and concerts, local museums and trips to study the geography and environment of different parts of the island.

The experience of staying away from home on an overnight camping trip develops a child in many areas and is also tremendous fun!

In Year 3 students enjoy their “Adventure Day” in the South of the island.

All children from Year 4 (Key Stage 2 Years 4,5 and 6) upwards have the opportunity to go on a camping trip in Gran Canaria. As the children get older international trips are organised.

In Year 6, there is the opportunity to go on a trip to London, England.

In Key Stage 3 (Years 7,8 and 9) there is a cultural trip to Italy.

In Key Stage 4 a languages trip to Germany and France or Belgium.

In KS5 there is the opportunity for an end of course trip for the Y13 students.
