Trips and Visits
Personal Development – Enrichment
At Venture we believe that one of the most important aspects of education we provide is to give your child the opportunity to experience things outside of the classroom which will help them develop personally as well as academically. Our academy has a rich tradition of providing students with experiences and activities which we believe your child will enjoy and allow them to thrive.

Trips and Visits
Trips and visits play a crucial role in developing character, key skills and extending learning for students at Ormiston Venture Academy. Each faculty plans trips for students across it's 5 year curriculum as well as accepting opportunities when they arise to broaden horizons. We have regular local and national trips and a rotating international trips schedule.

Enrichment Partners

Students can opt to join the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme which culminates in a 2-day expedition. DofE - The Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Students learn and develop new skills, improve their fitness and volunteer in the community for the other 3 sections in this nationally recognized award.
They can also partner with the established Combined Cadets Force (CCF) at East Norfolk sixth form Combined Cadet Force | Homepage through our link with them. Students have the opportunity to learn skills for life with the aim of developing personal responsibility, teamwork, leadership and resilience in an educational partnership with the Ministry of Defense.
