Research has found that residential trips are critical in the development of primary and secondary students. They lead to improved relationships, development of important skills, improved achievement and progress and a greater sense of belonging. Students are exposed to new opportunities for success, new ways of learning and are challenged to reach their full potential.

The experience of staying overnight in an unfamiliar place on a residential trip can be challenging yet valuable. This time away from home creates new routines which students must adapt to, as well as immersing students in an unfamiliar learning environment. Students must coexist with others, which encourages them to make new friends, while teaching them a valuable lesson about living with others.

 In Year 5 the children have the opportunity to visit Robinwood Residential Centre
