Educational visits

You should try hard things in life because you might not have the chance again. - Year 6 pupil

I found it hard to spend time away from my family but in the end, it was a really good experience and I would do it again. -Year 5 pupil

At Hartley, we are proud of the educational visits we offer our pupils. We value these experiences highly and see them as important opportunities for the children to develop skills outside of the classroom in environments and activities that they might not otherwise encounter.

As we are so passionate about the children taking part, we try to subsidise visits or apply for grants and bursaries where possible. We also ensure that payments can be spread over the academic year so parents can pay in instalments via Parentmail if they wish.
