Every Child, Every Opportunity
Educational Visits and Experiences
At Arden Primary School, we believe in ‘Every Child, Every Opportunity’ where all children have the opportunity to flourish and reach their full potential, regardless of their background or strengths. One way we achieve this is though our carefully planned educational visits and experiences programme, which provides all pupils with a broad and varied, wider learning experience. This not only support and enhances their learning and engagement but also the social experiences of our pupils.
Our Educational visits and experiences promote our school drivers, Community, Aspiration and Enquiry, by exposing our pupils to the wider community, aspire them to experience new things and encouraging them to be curious and ask questions.

Religious Education - Educational Visits and Experiences
At Arden Primary School, we further enhance our educational visit and experience provision, by planning trips for our pupils to a range of local places of worship or inviting different religious visitors to come in to speak to our pupils.
We believe that all learners should develop mutual respect and understanding of the many different beliefs and cultures in Birmingham, the UK and the World.
