At Baldwins Gate Primary School, we firmly believe in the value of learning beyond the classroom and have developed an exciting and enriching programme of educational visits for our pupils. These experiences play a vital role in supporting the Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural (SMSC) development of our children.

Our trips are designed to enhance and extend classroom learning, spark curiosity, and help pupils make meaningful connections between their studies and the wider world. From Year 2 onwards, residential trips become a key part of school life, offering valuable opportunities for children to build independence, teamwork, and leadership skills in a supportive and inspiring environment.
