School Trips, visitors to school
Here are some of the trips and visits linked to our curriculum which children at Ashbury Meadow Primary School have taken part in last year and this year:
All trips and visitors are planned to support and enhance learning within our curriculum and as such, are not one off events. They are carefully planned as part of a unit of work and are an effective way of supporting the development of pupils' cultural and science capital.
