Visits

At Westleigh Methodist Primary School, we believe that every child should experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of learning and personal development whatever their age, ability or circumstances.

Visits enable our children to have first-hand experience of a range of topics and activities. These often are the most memorable learning experiences and help children to make sense of the world around them. Visits / visitors take place in each year group and change according to the curriculum.

Each visit is authorised by Westleigh Methodist Primary School's Educational Visits Co-ordinator (EVC). They ensure that the visit is risk assessed and supports the headteacher and governors  in their decision on approval.

Visitors to School

Visitors are welcomed into school to further advance children's learning. They provide first-hand experience to deepen children's knowledge, understanding and skills. They are wonderful in engaging and exciting the children to provoke stimulus for further learning.

Examples of visitors in Autumn term 2024 - 25 include:

• History Alive visit to Y3
• Freddy Fit visit to Y5
• HH Kids

History Alive

History Alive visited Year 3 in Autumn term. Our children had an amazing Stone Age experience in the classroom - being immersed in their learning. The workshop was fun-filled and completely interactive. It really brought learning to life! It was lovely to see the children's passion and enthusiasm for history. They loved the costumes and artefacts.

Freddy Fit

Freddy Fit's visit to Year 5 in Autumn term had a hugely positive impact. The full-day workshop trained our Year 5 children to become Play Leaders. They now have a bank of activities to share with our younger pupils at break and dinner time. This adds to our children's leadership roles at Westleigh Methodist!
