Residential Trips at Princess Frederica
Residential trips form an important part of the philosophy of the school. We believe that in order for children to have a well rounded education, it is important to experience learning in alternative surroundings that pose varying challenges. Our programme of residential trips means children, from Year 2, start to experience life away from their everyday home environment and develop the skills and emotional resilience necessary to deal successfully with the different social and environmental factors time away in a new area for a sustained amount of time will bring.
We are constantly reviewing our provision for residential trips and sometimes change visits depending on the quality of experience.
