Learners at The Orchard have been expanding their knowledge beyond the classroom this spring term with a series of enriching educational trips. From exploring the workings of the criminal justice system to stepping back in time at historic sites, these experiences have helped bring learning to life.
As part of their studies, learners visited Grimsby Magistrates’ Court, where they gained valuable insight into the justice system. A trip to the National Railway Museum in York provided an in-depth look at the role of railways in the Industrial Revolution, while a visit to Lincoln Castle helped cement their understanding of the Normans and the legacy of William the Conqueror.
Steven Broderick, Principal at The Orchard, highlighted the impact of these trips:
“These experiences are invaluable in making learning more engaging and relevant. Not only do they reinforce what our learners are studying, but they also help build confidence, independence, and self-esteem beyond the classroom.”
By taking learning beyond school walls, The Orchard continues to provide meaningful educational opportunities that inspire and empower its learners.
