Enrichment Opportunities: Visits and Visitors
At Bierton C of E Combined School, we strive to provide children with a range of enrichment opportunities throughout their time at our school. Each class in Key Stage 1 and 2 participates in three enrichment opportunities (going on a school trip or having a workshop with a visitor) throughout the year, with children in Nursey and Reception participating in two.
Throughout the year, we also invite a range of authors into our school. Details about these visits and experiences can be found on the associated page.
