School Trips
Classes make visits to places of interest throughout the year. By spending educational days away from the school, we aim to enhance the curriculum, taking it beyond the classroom and into other settings and contexts. During a child’s time with us, they will be given the opportunity to visit a vast array of exciting museums, galleries, farms and other places of interest.
There are a number of ways in which we enhance the children’s learning experiences at St Mary’s RC Primary School There are many opportunities for parents to accompany us on day visits and we welcome family members into school to share their skills, interests and talents.

Children’s Testimonials
I am really happy for the support from St Mary’s school about Sayers Croft trip. Thank you for everything. Year 6 Parent
Is your child going to Sayers Croft soon? Are you worried what to expect and how he/she will feel without you there? I would like to assure you that, at St Mary’s, preparation for the Sayers Croft trip is outstanding. Prior to the trip we had three confidential, face to face meetings with the teachers to discuss and resolve all our needs and worries. All our queries were answered, our suggestions were accepted and all action requested has been taken. The school team was in constant contact with the Sayers Croft representative to make sure that all the dietary requirements and safety needs were fulfilled. Our child was convinced many times that the teachers would take full care and responsibility for his own emotional wellbeing during the trip which built up his self-confidence very much. In the last meeting we received a full schedule for every day of the trip and all the according information: travel, accommodation, meals, precautions taken and activities. It helped a lot to calm our child down and to allow him to fully enjoy this great experience as he knew what to expect. Thank you to all the team members who helped and worked very hard to make sure it was a pleased and memorable time for the whole class. Year 6 Parent
When I went to Sayer’s Croft, it was the best time of my life. It was so much fun. Caving and archery were the best activities. When we did archery I felt like Merida in Brave. I loved it so much. I wish I could have stayed longer. I can’t believe I heard an owl – it was the first time I have heard an owl in my whole life. I also liked the roundhouse because I learnt more about the past and Pitch Hill because it was good exercise. Kiana, Year 5
