Educational Visits

Visits and trips at Abbey Gate are regarded as an integral part of every child’s educational experience and enrichment. 

Within all Departments in the Senior School and classes at Aldford we believe that pupils learn more effectively and develop a wider range of skills and deeper knowledge when they have the opportunity to do so beyond the classroom. The provision itself is broad, diverse and well planned throughout each school year for every pupil. 

These opportunities include frequent theatre visits, field expeditions, both regional and overseas for history and geography, most recently including visits to Switzerland, Iceland, Snowdonia and the French WW1 battlefields; visits to London art galleries such as the Tate; active working days at local businesses; scientific trips to universities and hi-tech industries; sport tours to Edinburgh, York, Malta and Barcelona, Choir trips to Italy, Belgium and Westminster Abbey.

Adventurous and team building opportunities, all provide fantastic opportunities for young people at all stages of their education; seeing and experiencing their learning in action is undoubtedly a major benefit for all pupils.
