At Sweyne Park School we are keen to offer pupils a wide and enjoyable experience and school visits can be a valuable part of this experience.
We believe that a school visit should aim:
- to promote the development of pupils and an appreciation of all that the environment can offer
- to help pupils to learn a sense of community, good fellowship and unselfishness
- to allow pupils to spend a planned visit safely, intelligently and happily
- to help pupils to gain in initiative, resourcefulness and self-reliance.
During school visits staff make a considerable commitment for all the organisation and have responsibility for the pupils. It is, therefore, very important that we are confident that all our pupils will respond in a positive and appropriate manner when on any school visit. In order to ensure that all pupils and staff have a rewarding, enjoyable ad safe visit, we set out the following expectations.
Pupils are expected to:
- show respect to themselves, others and the environment at all times (e.g. to be reliable, courteous and trustworthy, and to respect local customs and traditions)
- behave in a way to ensure the safety of themselves and others at all times
- follow instructions and guidance from staff and other people in authority (e.g. guides, coach drivers, police etc.)
- have, and use, suitable equipment/kit when required (as specified prior to the visit), be fit to take part in the visit and inform staff of any specific medical conditions
- report any injury, illness or incident immediately to a member of staff
- have suitable funding for the purchase of food/drink, admission charges or incidental costs (as specified prior to the visit)
- promptly follow the correct procedures in the case of an emergency (as explained by staff prior to, and at the start of, a visit).
