From exploring the world of science and technology to discovering local heritage, history and the justice system, pupils had the opportunity to experience a wide range of activities designed to broaden their horizons, develop their understanding of the world and bring classroom learning to life.

Destinations and experiences included visiting Cadbury World, Magna Science Adventure Centre, Castleton, Newstead Abbey and The National Holocaust Centre and Museum.

Headteacher, Paddy Cassidy, said: “Experiences like these help broaden horizons, build confidence and develop an understanding of the world beyond the classroom.

“Through our Garibaldi 5 programme, we are committed to making these opportunities accessible to all of our students, regardless of background, offering them an experience that will stay with them long after the day itself. Each year during their time at Garibaldi, pupils will have access to exceptional educational opportunities as part of our new enrichment initiative.”
