Dear Parents and Carers,
We are delighted to inform you that our Year 3 and Year 4 children will be visiting Ufton Court on Tuesday 21st April as part of our Summer Term Enquiry: “What mattered to the Ancient Greeks?”
This trip will provide pupils with a unique, hands-on learning experience. The programme we have chosen is designed to bring Ancient Greek life vividly to the children, and includes:
- an Agora Trading Game - exploring how economics worked and how external factors influenced trade
- Spartan Military Manoeuvres - discovering how the Ancient Greeks prepared for battle
- Crime and Punishment – learning how justice was served in Ancient Greece
These activities will enrich classroom learning and help children to understand the values, systems, and daily life of Ancient Greek society.
Time: Children will travel by coach, leaving school at approximately 9.00am and returning in time for the end of the school day.
Dress: School uniform, school shoes, and a coat appropriate for the weather.
Food: Packed lunch required (no glass), water, and a healthy snack please.
If you wish to order a packed lunch from the school kitchen, please confirm on this form by Friday 27th February, to allow the kitchen to order the food for the trip. The school packed lunch will consist of a cheese or ham roll, piece of fruit, cake or biscuit and a pot of veg.
Cost: The cost of the trip is £23 per child. This covers all activities for the day at Ufton Court and coach transport. This can be paid in instalments, with full payment due by 31st March 2026 via Reach More Parents/Parentpay Payments please.
Please note that there is no obligation to make a voluntary contribution and no child will be excluded from the event but if insufficient voluntary contributions are received to cover the cost of the visit, then unfortunately the school will have to cancel the visit within the 10 days cancellation period.
Please speak to Mrs Messenger if you require financial support towards the voluntary contribution and please contact the school office if you have any questions regarding the trip.
Parent and Carer helpers: If you would like to join us on our trip to help supervise the children, we would be very grateful. Please contact Mrs Dudman via Weduc, by Friday 30th January if you are available to support. To meet our safeguarding expectations all volunteers will need to carry out a DBS check and complete a short application.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
The Year 3 and Year 4 Team

Kingsclere CE Primary School
On behalf of the children, parents, staff and Governors, I would like to warmly welcome you to Kingsclere CE Primary School. Our school website is designed to provide you with an insight to our daily life within our vibrant school. Our picturesque village offers us a wonderful setting in which to learn!
We are a thriving rural village school at the heart of the community, with a strong family-feel. We pride ourselves on our caring and friendly ethos, where everyone is encouraged to flourish by helping to nurture and develop all talents and gifts. We have a dedicated and professional staff team who work hard to provide every child with rich, exciting learning experiences. Our enquiry curriculum offers opportunities for children to engage, question and build their own ideas in order to become the best learners that they can be. We have high expectations of our children, of their academic attainment, their effort, behaviour and attitude. Our children know that they come to our school to learn.
As a school, we focus on ensuring our children develop the skills that will equip them to succeed in all aspects of their future life. This learning is supported by our excellent resources including IT equipment, library, extensive grounds and school kitchen. It is within easy walking distance of the village church which is regularly used for services and events. Our school swimming pool is open in the summer months to support our children in being able to learn to swim.
Our vision is underpinned by our spirituality and core Christian Values of Love, Courage and Respect. The ethos of our school, our curriculum, policies and practice, and all that we put into place for our community, grow from these roots. As a Church of England school, we welcome children and families of Christian faith, of other faiths and of no faith. We explore our understanding of the Christian faith through examining Christian Values. We believe this supports our children in understanding the importance of morals and core values to become responsible citizens within our world, their decision making both now and in the future.
Thank you for visiting our website, we look forward to welcoming you to our school. Please contact the school office on 01635 298583 to arrange a visit where you can meet our children and staff, and see our exciting curriculum in action – a first-hand experience is always the best one.
