Memorable activities lead to memorable learning.

At Southill Primary, our programme of trips and visits is thoughtfully crafted to enrich our pupils’ educational journey, foster their personal growth, and create cherished memories that will endure throughout their lives. We believe in the power of experiential learning, encouraging our children to engage with the world around them, both locally and beyond.

From the very beginning, in Reception, our young learners embark on local adventures such as crafting their own pizzas at Pizza Express in Dorchester, where they also learn the importance of safety while exploring new environments. Our ambition for our pupils knows no bounds. We aim high and design each trip to be more exciting and challenging, nurturing their curiosity and resilience.

By the time our pupils leave us in Year 6, they have experienced the awe of several World Heritage Sites, toured the historic theatre of Shakespeare’s Globe in London and worked with a trained actor, navigated the waters of the River Wye by canoe, and mastered the waves on the stunning beaches of St Ives, Cornwall. These experiences not only teach them to be independent and self-reliant but also prepare them for the thrilling opportunities that await them in secondary education.

We are committed to ensuring that our pupils leave us with a well rounded education, a strong sense of character, and the skills to thrive in their future endeavours.
