At Bel Royal, we aim to construct a curriculum that is ambitious, relevant and designed to give all groups of pupils the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life. ​

A significant part of our planned curriculum is to provide various wider opportunities that provide memorable experiences and the development of lifelong skills.

Each of our Key Stage 2 classes have the opportunity to enjoy a residential trip in the Summer Term, slowly increasing the overnight stays from Year 3 upwards to get them ready for their ultimate off-island residential in Year 6. These residential trips offer numerous benefits; both educational and personal.

At Bel Royal we believe that these visits are a unique opportunity to: 

• Provide meaningful opportunities for community building where the children play and learn as a team.​ 

• Help us to continue our learning out and about, taking advantage of our beautiful island. 

• Celebrate and recognise each other’s skills and strengths – learning that learning is not just in the classroom ​ 

• Nurturing self-esteem, self - belief and confidence ​ 

• Encourage and develop independence and responsibility ​ 

• Provide children with the opportunity to demonstrate our school values in different situations​ 

• Make meaningful curriculum links (PHSE,​ Geography, Art / DT)​ 

Year 3 Residential – Camp Bosdet 

Children in Year 3 will have the opportunity to stay at Camp Bosdet for 1 night during the Summer Term.

Year 4 Residential – Scout Centre 

Our children in Year 4 will have the opportunity to stay at the Scout Centre in St Ouens for 2 nights during the Summer Term.

They will enjoy a campfire on both nights and a delicious BBQ dinner on the second evening. 

   

Year 5 Residential – St Aubin’s Fort

Our children in Year 5 will spend their transition days at St Aubin’s Fort, giving them the opportunity to meet their Year 6 teacher while getting used to being off the island ready for their Year 6 residential.

During their stay they will take part in razor fishing, coasteering, bell boating, paddleboarding and abseiling among other exciting opportunities. They will enjoy a campfire on both nights and a delicious BBQ dinner on the second evening. 

Year 6 Residential – PGL Osmington, Dorset

Because the children’s final year in Primary School is a very significant one and marks a time of transition and change. It is very important that as a school we make this time memorable and fulfilling. We want to ensure that our children leave us with a sense of their own achievements, independence, and self-confidence.  

This is why we take our Year 6 children off the island to Osmington for their residential.

During their 4-night stay at PGL Osmington the children will be fencing, raft building, abseiling amongst other exciting activities.
