Poplars Experience
'The Poplars Experience is a checklist of activities, skills and experiences, that children will complete before they leave the school. It includes visiting a museum; taking on a responsibility; being able to access the emergency services; taking part in an arts performance, eating in a restaurant and understanding how food is grown. Annual residential trips feed into the programme, including camping inside the school for KS2 pupils, progressing to camping on the school fields in Year 5 before participating in a 2-night residential trip in Year 6. The concept is to give all pupils, irrespective of family circumstances, access to the broadest possible range of practical experiences, that will equip pupils with the skills to explore the world, be curious and become good citizens.' (IQM report, March 25)
This page includes details about the Poplars Experience, the Poplars Residential Program, and our comprehensive Trips, Visits, and Experiences Brochure.
The Poplars Experience highlights the range of activities and curriculum-linked opportunities designed to help our children grow into well-rounded, confident citizens ready to thrive in the world. From engaging in enriching learning experiences to participating in unique events, this program ensures that every child benefits from a broad and balanced education.
Our Poplars Residential Program outlines a series of age-appropriate adventures, starting with a film evening in Reception and building up to a three-day residential trip in year 6. These experiences are designed to foster independence, social skills, and resilience by allowing children to spend time away from home in a supportive environment.
The Poplars Trips, Visits and Experiences Brochure provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse opportunities available throughout the school year. This includes whole-school events, class-specific trips, and unique experiences that enrich learning and create lasting memories. The brochure allows parents and carers to see all the wonderful activities their children will enjoy during their time at Poplars.
