Educational Visits

At Maldon Court Preparatory School we believe that a programme of well managed Educational visits is an effective and additional means of delivering a wide range of diverse objectives which add greatly to the curriculum.

Form 1 & 2 Trip to Chelmsford Cathedral

As part of their R.E. curriculum forms 1 and 2 enjoyed a visit to Chelmsford Cathedral to study a place of worship. They were given a guided tour by Cathedral staff learning about different objects in the church and its history. They were given an organ recital which they found very moving.

Thy were able to sit in the Cathedra (the chair where the Bishop sits) and had the opportunity to dress up in the Bishop's robes. They lit a candle for the children of Maldon Court School.

Form 4 Trip to Colchester Castle

School trips further enhance children's understanding of a period in time, in learning about features of that period but also about the impact people and places have on our lives today. Pupils from Form 4 furthered their knowledge of the Roman period by visisting Colchester Castle - the stage for Boudicca's revolt - a great source of local history. 

Forms 3 and 4 visit to the Natural History Museum

Dinosaurs and sources of growth were on the agenda for the visit to the Natural History Museum, London. Children were able to use microscopes to see cell formation in a variety of specimens. They then compared these with the giant dinosaurs on display.
