SCHOOL TRIPS
The school organises 2 residential offsite trips in each year, and several one day trips.
Why we do trips.
Residential and day trips are an important part of children's educational experience. Both day and residential trips help children develop their knowledge and understanding of topics they are studying or develop new skills. Residential trips additionally develop children's social skills and levels of independence.
Residential Trips
Year 4 - Residential Trip

We will be visiting London for our residential in 2025-26. This will be the first time we have done this and we are really excited to be able to offer this experience to our children. It will include a visit to the Science Museum, the London Eye, a riverboat tour, a trip to the theatre to see a West End show, a meal out and much more!
Day Trips/Activities
The following is a sample of the type of trips/activities the school organises through the year.
Year 3 Roman Day
To enrich our work on the 'Romans in Britain' we experience what life was like for the Celtic Tribes who lived in Britain before the Roman Invasion.
We spent the day at school in costume, learning about the Romans which included food tasting. All the children arrived at Bartlia, in full and spectacular Roman costume, ranging from legionaries to wealthy Roman ladies! We were enthralled to learn how the Romans lived from our two visitors from the II Augustus Legion re-enactment group. Our young Roman pupils were amazed to learn of how the Romans ate, lived and fought! Did you know that flamingo tongues and dormice were popular foods over two thousand years. Our memorable day finished with a Roman military drill and march on the playground. The children were a real credit to us and a huge thanks to parents for your support.
Year 6 Church Schools Trip
Year 6 attend Winchester Cathedral each year along with other schools within the diocese.
Here is a recent trip review from one of our Year 6 pupils
On Wednesday 27th June, we went to Winchester Cathedral. We got off the bus and had a nice walk to the cathedral. Then we sat and listened to a lady talk to us about the history of the cathedral. After that we did some activities such as:
-
writing a poem or a prayer,desining a badge, singing together with a chorister, explorting the cathedral
We had lunch, then an exciting thing happened—we led a song called ‘Forever’. We did Bartley proud and received a huge round of applause. Eventually the day came to an end and we got on the coach and travelled back to school.‘
