Titled the Pioneer Passport, the trust has committed to providing all trips associated with the scheme for free this year.

The Pioneer Academy CEO Lee Mason Ellis said there will be more investments at Moulsecoomb Primary School.

“I hope by providing a free uniform for every pupil again next year we can make life a bit easier for parents,” he said.

“I am also excited for the children at Moulsecoomb to start experiencing the activities outlined in the Pioneer Passport.

“Enjoyable visits and inspiring visitors are an entitlement of every child within our schools, and we actively encourage creativity and innovation. I have seen how curiosity is sparked in children when they are given the chance to experience new things and I wouldn’t want any child to miss out.”

The key stage one passport outlines seven activities to be completed by the age of seven.

These will include visiting a farm, observing life cycles, creating a piece of art for exhibition, building a den in a forest and making a boat and floating it on a river.

The key stage tow passport, which is eleven activities to be accomplished by the age of eleven, includes visiting a castle and art gallery, cooking a healthy meal, performing Shakespeare, learning a non-curriculum sport, such as horse riding, and visiting famous London landmarks.

Moulsecoomb Primary School head teacher Adam Sutton said the commitment is “fantastic news” for students, teachers and parents.

“I know parents appreciated a set of uniform being provided this year and knowing this will happen again next year is really helpful,” he said.

“I am also looking forward to working through the Pioneer Passport activities with the children as I know they will benefit from the wide variety of experiences outlined. That the trust is going to fund these activities is great as it means every child will experience everything they should.”
