School visits provide a valuable opportunity for pupils to encounter experiences which are not available to them in the classroom. They can enable pupils to develop initiative, resourcefulness and independence. However, it is essential that all such visits are carried out with the highest regard for the safety and welfare of the pupils taking part in them.
