School Trips

Trips at Newton are an exciting extension to learning in the classroom, whether they be to the fire station or Polka Theatre in the Nursery, the Ragged School Museum in Year 2,  the pantomime in Year 3,   or  to France or  Flatford Mill in Year 8 .  All areas of the curriculum are supported by a range of  ambitious trips to enrich the experience of all children and our  creative work at school reflects this hands-on approach.

We make the most of the performance and exhibition opportunities of London as well as visiting famous landmarks and galleries and sites outside London. We also take children skiing once a year.

To round off Year 6, we have a residential challenge activity week for the whole year-group in Croft Farm, Gloucestershire,  and for Year 8, the adventure of some serious hill walking in Wales.
