Residentials
At Shavington Primary School we pride ourselves on the number of residential visits
we organise for the children in the school. We believe all experiences outside the
classroom are valuable ones and the skills the children learn by spending time away
from the home environment are invaluable. These visits are geared at giving children
as many different experiences possible while also being linked to the curriculum.
