School Trips & Visits

Pupils at King’s House enjoy a huge variety of school trips in and around London, throughout the UK and abroad. These trips support class work, fuel cross-curricular learning and broaden educational understanding.

Pupils take advantage of our proximity to London, with trips to museums, galleries and theatres. We also organise regular visits to nearby Richmond Park and Kew Gardens. These trips help to foster a sense of community in the local area. Pupils build confidence and independence whilst growing friendships. Reception and our Squirrel and Rabbit Nursery Classes take weekly visits to ‘The Nest’ our Forest School site, which is located at King’s House School Sports Ground, and have the chance to explore nature and their surroundings.

We place great importance on this aspect of school life and encourage all pupils to take part in activities that enhance their education. Recent day trips have included:

• Neasden Temple
• Morden Mosque
• The British Museum
• Hampton Court Palace
• The Tower of London
• London Aquarium

In the Summer Term, pupils in Year 3 to 8 have the opportunity to go on residential trips. Residential trips allow our pupils to build independence and our Year 8 pupils often include these amongst their fondest memories of their time at King’s House. They present invaluable experiences and we ensure that the length of time away increases gradually from 2 nights in Year 3 up to a full week for the older years. Year 7 and 8 travel abroad for their residentials. Additionally, opportunities for older pupils include ski trips, sports tours and cultural trips.
