"This is a good school. Pupils are happy and achieve well as a result of good teaching and good care." (Ofsted 2006)
Visits
During the summer term, Year 6 children have the opportunity to experience a three-day residential trip to Graham Water. This is a local centre, which offers various outdoor activities such as canoeing, yachting and cycling. Year 5 children spend three days at Burwell House, which provides the opportunity for first hand experiences in various environmental study topics such as nature trails, church studies and explorations of Old Burwell. When classes are taken on visits involving the use of transport, parents will be informed and permission sought. Permission is not sought for local visits within Milton itself, eg, to the church or country park.
Charging Policy
Schools are not allowed to charge directly for activities during the school day, apart from residential visits. However, it is in order to invite voluntary contributions to fund activities that are additional to the normal school curriculum such as, trips outside school, visiting theatre groups or historical re-enactment days etc. Clearly these activities enrich the children's learning experiences and help to make their time at school more enjoyable and purposeful. We hope that parents will be willing to financially support such activities. We do make every effort to keep costs low.
