The Heart of Teaching: Why School Trips Matter
Our Trust Educational Visits Coordinator and Science Teacher at Harrogate Grammar School, Joanne Sutcliffe, reflects on the value of school trips, not just for students but for the colleagues who make them possible.


















This is an exciting time to join Temple Moor High School as we look to build on our recent successes and strengthen our position as the ‘school of choice’ in East Leeds. We have seen our work on improving attendance and behaviour lead to better academic outcomes for all our students regardless of gender, background or ability. So much so, that last year we recorded Year 11 students’ best ever progress and attainment scores. However, we pride ourselves on being about much more than just examination results, but on being part of a community of learners, both students and staff, ‘pursuing excellence’ in everything they do.
