Educational Visits

Educational visits help to bring ‘education to life’ and are part of a broad and balanced curriculum, which can have a lasting benefit on the whole learning and development of the children involved.

We believe that every young person, ‘should experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of learning and personal development, whatever their age, ability or circumstances’ (Learning Outside the Classroom Manifesto 2006).

Curriculum Visits

At Holme On Spalding Moor, we recognise the value and importance of learning outside the classroom and encourage staff to organise educational visits and to utilise our outside areas to enrich the curriculum and enhance the learning and development of our children. 

All visits are organised within the guidelines of our Educational Visits policy and through the online EVOLVE system and are fully costed and risk assessed. Visits are then approved by the Headteacher and the Educational Visits Co-ordinator.

In previous years, we have visited: 

Year 6 Allerthorpe Lake - Team Building.

Year 5/6 - Young Voices Event at Sheffield Arena (Music)

Year 3/4 - Hands on History Museum, Hull

Y1/Y2 - Playdale Farm Park

FS2 - Williams Den.

FS1/FS2 / KS1 - Visits to the Methodist Church in the village for Christmas and Easter activities.

School Choir - 'Christmas Light Switch on' in the village 

School Choirs - Bridlington Big Sing Event

Children across the school also experience outside agencies using the school grounds to take part in a range of sports coaching activities, Scooter Training, Pedestrian Training and Cycle Training.

Residential Visits

Holme On Spalding Moor has a long tradition of providing residential visits for its pupils. and thousands of children will have left the school with wonderful memories of these visits that will last them a lifetime.

In previous years children in Key Stage 2 have taken part in visits to a variety of locations, including Wales, Northumberland, Cumbria, The Yorkshire Coast and Haworth. For many years an additional trip was organised to Germany!

All visits are organised using the same system as for Curriculum Visits, but with the added features of being submitted to the East Riding Educational Visits and Outdoor Learning Consultant, who considers the visit before giving approval.

Recent previous visits include:

Year 6

Derwentwater, Cumbria

Grinton, North Yorkshire

 Year 4 

Ilam, Peak District

Boggle Hole, North Yorkshire
