Curriculum

Trips and visits

Harrogate Grammar School recognises the enormous benefit of educational visits. Visits allow students to demonstrate our REACH values, be it from showing respect to other guests on a visit to the theatre, or being adventurous on a first visit to a foreign country without family.

Educational visits provide the opportunity to be challenged intellectually, physically, socially, morally and culturally. The skills and experiences that students develop remain with them for life. 


Safety on educational visits

The safety of students and staff on educational visits is paramount. Most visits take place without incident, and to support this they are planned and delivered using good and safe practice.

A link to the RKLT policy can be found below.

Management of Offsite Visits 


Charging for educational visits

Based on advice from the Department for Education (DfE) on charging for school activities and the Education Act 1996, sections 449-462 of which set out the law on charging for school activities in England, Harrogate Grammar School are able to ask for voluntary contributions from parents to fund activities during school hours which would not otherwise be possible.

No child will be excluded from an activity if their parents are unwilling or unable to pay, but if insufficient voluntary contributions are received, then regrettably, the visit would not go ahead.
