Trips

Sitting alongside a broad and balanced curriculum is our off-site visit offer. Throughout their time at the academy, all children will have the opportunity to participate in a range of off-site activities and these are mainly linked to the topic in which they are studying. Situated in a naval city, steeped in history, Ark Dickens tries to ensure we use the range of fantastic resources on our doorstep such as the D-Day Museum, HMS Victory and Southsea Castle. Visits are chosen on their suitability and with the idea that learning can be ‘brought to life’ so in addition to the local visits, children will have the opportunity to go further afield and experience places including Marwell Zoo, Fishbourne Roman Palace and Winchester Science Museum before ending their time at Ark Dickens with a 2 night residential at the end of Year 6.
