Educational Journeys & Visits

At Delapre we feel it is very important (where possible) for children to go and see things they are being taught about in school, thus enhancing the curriculum. Year groups arrange their own trips and visits during the academic year. All students have the opportunity to participate in these experiences and the school places much emphasis on developing the skills, confidence and independence to cope away from home. The relevant information will be sent home prior to each trip. Safety plays a major role in all our trips and wherever possible we use transport fitted with safety belts.

Charging for School Activities

As a general policy the Governors of Delapre Primary School believe that any educational activity which is deemed sufficiently important to take up valuable school time should be free to all pupils. There are two exceptions to this, which are:

In the case of trips out of school where contributions are invited from parents in order to cover costs
In the case of Food Technology where parents are invited to voluntarily contribute ingredients whenever possible
