Learning takes place EVERYWHERE

As schools start to re-open to more pupils and thoughts turn to planning for the coming academic year, teachers are having to contend with and respond to new challenges and adopt new ways of working.

Taking learning beyond the classroom, whether that is into school grounds, supporting pupils at home or visiting a new venue, is a vital tool to helping engage students and support their transition between home and school.

Learning outside the classroom is more than an annual day trip or week away. Learning outside the classroom can help students to flourish, it brings learning to life and builds connections between textbooks and the real world.

To be truly successful learning outside the classroom needs to be part of a progressive programme of activities and experiences that take place across the whole curriculum and all key stages. It is about getting children and young people out and about, providing them with challenging, exciting and different experiences to help them learn; blending short activities around the school grounds with longer experiences off-site.

Uncovering military tactics, exploring Medieval artillery, and analysing the significance of the Medieval Castle – Medieval Battlefield School Trips provide educational groups with historically stimulating educational experiences. 

There are numerous Medieval Battlefield School Trip destinations listed on UK School Trips. English Heritage oversees the upkeep of a number of Medieval Battlefield sites. One such site is the Abbey and Battlefield of the Battle of Hastings, which took place in 1066. Here, school groups can explore one of England’s most important historic sites – students can stand on the exact spot where the armies of King Harold and William the Conqueror fought. Another site is Pevensey Castle, which was where William the Conqueror first landed in the UK. The History of Pevensey Castle stretches back over 16 centuries, providing students with a historically rich site to explore. 

Medieval Battlefield School Trips are an excellent way to engage and motivate pupils in the subject of history. Below, we have listed a selection of Historic Battlefields for you to choose from:

There are a vast majority of trips that would benefit A level students, while allowing them the independence to explore and have fun while learning. Whether you’re studying sciences, arts, languages, etc, there is a trip for every A level student, dedicated to your specific subject choice!

• theatre trips; perfect for drama, dance, music and English students
• day trips to the Houses of Parliament; brilliant for politics and media students
• residential nature stays; biology students can thrive in this outdoor environment
• Natural history museum; for those history lovers, enjoy a trip to the past

Also, residential trips are brilliant for A level education as they allow for students to immerse themselves in a new area, meet new people and discover their passions while learning outside of the classroom! A level education can be exhausting and so residential trips give students the chance to take a break from the stress of the classroom and enjoy their learning from afar!
