VISITS AND VISITORS AT THE GATEWAY

At The Gateway, we enhance the learning experience through visitors and visits to a range of venues. Not all children have the benefit of being able to experience the wonders of the world beyond the classroom. Through our approach, the children not only have a fantastic learning experience in the classroom, but they will get the opportunity to visit sites which will add an extra dimension to their understanding, knowledge and skills in a given subject area.
