Trips, Visits and Experiences

We offer a comprehensive range of external visits. These include visits to local museums and parks as well as visit further a field. We have developed a detailed overview of all the opportunities available to the children of Whitefield Community Primary school. We also recognise that the funding for these visits can sometimes be difficult for parents. We therefore work with a number of charities to help support our families in funding the costs of these visits. This can be full funding of the visit or part funding dependent on the circumstances. These visits form a core part of the Whitefield offer in ensuring that all children are Inspired through the learning away from the classroom.

Not all visits are out of school. We work with a range of professionals and charities throughout the year developing links with people that visit our school to deliver presentations and displays. Below is an overview of the sort of experiences you can expect as a pupil of Whitefield Community Primary School.

"Leaders make sure that pupils can access a range of trips and visits. This helps to widen pupils’ experiences. Pupils’ future ambitions are being promoted well through trips to the theatre and links with Manchester University. Leaders want pupils to be ‘active citizens’. They enable pupils to take on responsibilities such as litter-picking in the local area and fundraising for charity. The ‘animal club’ enjoys looking after Derek the duck and his family. Pupils can also access a wealth of additional activities and clubs. Leaders make sure that the clubs are wide ranging in choice, to appeal to as many pupils as possible."
