At Nelson Junior and Infant School, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. Our carefully planned educational trips and enrichment experiences provide our pupils with opportunities to explore the world around them, bringing their learning to life in exciting and meaningful ways.
Each trip is designed to support the curriculum while also fostering curiosity, independence, and a love for learning. Whether visiting historical landmarks, engaging in hands-on workshops, or experiencing live theatre, our pupils gain valuable insights that enhance their knowledge and understanding across different subjects.
What We Offer
Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) pupils enjoy sensory-rich experiences, including visits to the Library of Birmingham, meeting animals up close, and exploring play-based learning environments like Teeny Weenies.
In Key Stage 1, pupils embark on exciting adventures, such as an immersive Titanic workshop, visits to places of worship, and exploration of local and national sites of significance. A particular highlight is our geography fieldwork trip to Weston-Super-Mare, where pupils experience a typical British seaside, linking their learning to coastal geography and tourism.
As pupils progress into Key Stage 2, their experiences become more challenging and inspiring. They participate in historical re-enactments, hands-on geography fieldwork, and visits to significant cultural and religious sites. Some of the highlights include:
- Year 3: An Ancient Egypt workshop and an immersive Stone Age experience at Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre, where pupils explore prehistoric survival skills.
- Year 4: A visit to a Roman fort and fieldwork at Sarehole Mill, linking history and geography learning.
- Year 5: Exploring the Jewellery Quarter for fieldwork and experiencing a Snowdonia residential trip in Wales.
- Year 6: A memorable school sleepover, a visit to Drayton Manor, and an enriching experience at Tatton Park.
