. Our programme is well thought out to become progressively more challenging each year, developing children’s independence, resilience and communication.
We are very excited to share details of our residential programme for 2025/26:
At Plains Farm Academy, our school residentials are an important part of growing up and gaining independence. Starting in Year 3 with a sleepover in school, children begin to build confidence and experience being away from home in a fun, supportive way. As they move through Years 4, 5 and 6, the trips become longer and more adventurous, encouraging teamwork, resilience and problem-solving. Each residential helps children create lasting memories, strengthen friendships and discover new skills. By Year 6, they’re ready to take on new challenges — confident, independent and excited for the journey ahead.

We do not want financial circumstances to be a barrier to participation. Please speak to see if we can offer support with this.
We are really looking forward to creating lots more special memories next year!
Thank you for your on-going support,
