Enhancing Our Curriculum

Educational Visits

Educational visits are a core part of what we offer at Holme Community School. We want children to develop a love of learning and to experience life beyond Holme Village. As a result, we've designed a two-year cycle of Educational Visits that link directly with our curriculum and offer our children a breadth of rich experiences and happy memories.

If you have any questions about our educational visits, please speak to Mr Horrocks our Education Visits Coordinator.
