Trips & Events
“ My favourite school trip was Painshill Park, we made shelters. I loved all the shelters ” – Stella
Learning at Lion House School is enriched by outings to a wide variety of places including Tate Modern, The British Museum, The Science Museum, The Wallace Collection, The Saatchi Gallery, The Golden Hinde, The Royal College of Music, Kew Gardens and Painshill Park.
On these trips the children gain valuable practical experiences ranging from den-building, minibeast hunting and map-reading to sculpture workshops, Indonesian Gamelan playing and dressing up in Roman armour or spending the day as a sailor aboard the Golden Hinde. All of these are tremendously popular with the children, who usually vote the most recent outing as 'the best ever!'. They benefit greatly from our close proximity to so many wonderful cultural resources.
We also invite a wide variety of visitors into school. These include theatre groups, museum outreach workshops, storytellers, musicians, puppet shows, a mobile planetarium and animal handling groups. The wide variety ensures that even our youngest children are stimulated by wide-ranging experiences without leaving the security of their familiar environment.
“ Thank you for the trips and visits – so memorable – Scarlett still talks about the Planetarium, Animal Magic and doing the Funky Monkey in Assembly! ” – Rowan Peacock
