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).
