Our Primary 6 and 7 pupils recently had an amazing time during their residential trip to Edinburgh . 

They crammed so much into their two days away, and were so very well behaved.  Several people commented on what delightful pupils they were and how they represented the school impeccably.  Well done all – we are very proud of you .  Many thanks must got to he staff for supporting the pupils when away.  Everyone had the best time!

Have a look what they got up to here – 

Residential trips are powerful because they combine challenge, independence and new environments, which naturally develop meta-skills such as resilience,  self-management and confidence

School residential experiences support several rights outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) by providing opportunities for children to learn, participate, and develop independence in a new environment. During residential trips, pupils exercise their right to education (Article 28) and the goals of education (Article 29) through experiential learning and personal challenge.  Time spent engaging in  social activities also supports Article 31, which recognises children’s right to rest, play and take part in recreational activities. Together, these experiences help promote wellbeing, confidence, resilience, and positive relationships among pupils.
