Visits and Visitors

As part of our Creative Curriculum at Landywood, children learn through termly or half termly topics. These topics have been carefully selected and planned by our teachers to ensure they engage the children in learning and maximise opportunities available to us.

As part of these topics, we also plan ‘Essential Learning Experiences’ (ELEs). These may be day trips out of school, visitors that come into our school or school-based events. We have carefully designed our ELE programme to ensure that each year group has a balance of visits and visitors to provide the children with a variety of learning opportunities.

ELE’s can provide an exciting launch to a topic or an opportunity for children to draw a conclusion and apply their previous learning. We will ensure that at least three ELE’s are organised for each class throughout the year.

In response to parents’ feedback, we have arranged a number of different payment plans to assist families with cost.
