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
They create lasting memories

Enhancing Learning Beyond the Classroom
At The Aquila School, we offer a wide range of educational visits and local residentials throughout the year. These trips are designed to cater to all interests and abilities, and to support the curriculum that pupils are learning in class.
