Residential trips to Crosby Hall (CHET) Year 4 and Colomendy (Year 6)
Our children enjoy subsidised trips to Crosby Hall and Colomendy. Our sports premium helps make the trip affordable to parents with up to £50 knocked off the price of each individual pupil trip. Without this help, some parents would find the cost too high and children could be denied the experience. a range of personal skills are developed (1) independence (2) resilience (3) team work (4) problem solving (5) perseverance. Achieving success on these trips is a huge boost to pupil self esteem.
