At Corbridge Middle School we are proud of the longstanding tradition of residential visits on offer and believe them to be important in enriching our curriculum. We believe that all students should be able to participate in a variety of off-site learning activities during their time with us and we will endeavour to offer one residential visit during Key Stage 2 and another during their time in Key stage 3.
Residential visits are one of the things our pupils look forward to and this is demonstrated by the high uptake of places in each visit. We believe that residential visits are crucial in supporting our school ethos in ensuring we develop successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. There is a vast range of evidence to support the benefits of outdoor educational experiences, however, our key objectives in offering residential visits are:
- building personal confidence
- developing social skills
- team building
- factual-based learning
- learning/developing a specific skill
