Aims and description
This module explores the significance and impact of school trips on pupils’ learning, development, and engagement, and examines how high‑quality arts and cultural visits can meaningfully support and enrich the curriculum. We will present findings from The Sutton Trust which outlines the current landscape of school trips and visits. Research from The Cultural Learning Alliance on the impact of Cultural Education alongside our own insights and data from working directly with schools and pupils through our Cultural Citizens programme will be shared.
We aim to:
-
Consider the role of school trips in broadening pupils experiences and supporting curriculum intent, implementation and impact
-
Understand the barriers that affect access to school trips and the implications for inclusion, equity and cultural capital
-
Understand the wider impact of cultural visits on pupils learning, wellbeing, life chances and engagement.
