Outcomes for year 6 pupils
At Kingswood, we like to ensure that our year 6 residential trips support character development, confidence building and the curriculum. To do this, we offer a confidence tracker tool that can help you effectively evaluate your trip from beginning to end with the pre and post-visit toolkit that links your trip to valuable learning outcomes.
Why Are Year 6 Residential trips Important?
School trips provide many benefits to pupils of all ages. Learning away from school can help your pupils grow in confidence and develop independence. For year 6, the time is almost upon them to take the next big step in their childhood: secondary school. To prepare them for the big changes, residential trips can help build self-esteem and independence.
Residentials provide year 6 pupils with the opportunity to embrace freedom and new social interactions to prepare them for secondary school. Year 6 residentials also break down the barriers between pupils and teachers, and education and the classroom.

Frequently asked
Questions About Year 6 Residential trips
Can we request specific accommodation?
We are happy to take requests, however, we can’t offer any guarantees unless this is confirmed specifically by us at the time of booking. Your year 6 group may be sharing an accommodation block with other groups, but we will always try to keep pupils from the same group together.
Do teachers have their own rooms?
Our teacher rooms are a mixture of single and twin rooms that are located close to the dormitories. If you have specific requirements for rooms, we will try to accommodate them wherever possible.
Are snacks and refreshments provided?
Some of our centres have juice trolleys outside the diner between sessions and there are outside taps around to fill water bottles up from. Pupils can purchase snacks from the on-site shop.
Do year 6 pupils need to bring any money?
Year 6 residential trips are all-inclusive, meaning activities and meals are included in the cost of the trip. However, if pupils may want to purchase snacks or souvenirs, we recommend bringing spending money of around £10.
What is the maximum number of pupils in a group?
The maximum number of participants during your year 6 residential trip is 15 per activity group. This follows in line with our risk assessment. In special circumstances, such as groups with complex SEN needs, we may be able to operate in smaller groups.
