Widening Horizons

sWe recognise the link between social mobility and aspirations. We provide our children with new challenges and inspiring experiences that broaden their horizons and encourage fresh thinking about what the future might hold. 

Each year, we plan cultural experiences for children which may include listening to live music, watching a live theatre production, visiting  galleries and museums, or experiencing an event linked to their topic learning. We ensure over the course of a child’s journey with us, they will have spent happy days in many of London’s top cultural venues and that they have a rich cultural vocabulary and knowledge to prepare them extremely well for secondary education and beyond. Our blogs showcase many of the visits and experiences.

In addition to school trips, we also host an annual Aspiration Day where we invite people from varied walks of life, including parents and members of the local community to come and talk about their careers and their education. There is always a wonderfully eclectic range of presentations for children to engage with and lots of inspiration shared along the way.
