Creating Lifelong Memories: The Importance of Trips at Ormiston New
Academy

At Ormiston New Academy, we believe that education extends far beyond the classroom
walls. While academic excellence remains at the heart of what we do, we know that the
most memorable and transformative moments often happen through real‑world
experiences. That’s why school trips and enrichment opportunities form a vital part of our
curriculum and our wider mission to develop well‑rounded, confident young people.

We are proud to provide a broad programme of trips each year, designed to enrich learning,
build character, and help students create memories that stay with them for a lifetime.
Whether students are exploring history, experiencing culture, discovering new
environments, or stepping into professional worlds, every opportunity contributes to their
growth.

Here at Ormiston New Academy, we believe character is built through meaningful
experiences—challenging, inspiring, and expanding what students believe they can achieve. Our trips are designed with this purpose firmly in mind.

A Wide Range of Opportunities throughout the year, students take part in an exciting variety of visits, including:

Visits to Residential Homes – Heart‑warming opportunities to connect with older
generations and contribute to the community.
Why Trips Matter
Educational visits play a crucial role in supporting student wellbeing and enjoyment at
school. They encourage students to try new things, step outside their comfort zones,
discover new interests, and develop the personal qualities that will help them thrive in later
life.

We remain committed to expanding our enrichment offer so every student has access to
meaningful, exciting, and memorable opportunities. Planning is already underway for the
next set of trips, and we look forward to seeing our students continue to grow, explore, and
shine.
