Trips

 At Larkhall we believe every child should experience a wide range of opportunities to learn about the world around them and the roles people play in both the local community and wider world.

Each half term teachers will plan for at least one trip or visitor for the children both in the main school and Woodlark Autism Provision. This may be linked to their topic or be a special event, such as a sports competition. All parents will be asked to make individual contributions for each trip their child goes on.

Children in the EYFS will experience going on a trip or meeting a visitor linked to their learning every 2 terms and will make the most of exploring the local area when out on a trip.
