Schools Out

Schools Out is a series of day trips for disabled children and children (4-11 years) living in deprivation, who attend schools with high pupil premium rates.

Schools Out days give these children the opportunity to enjoy, explore and engage in the world around them, and be what children should be; carefree.

Are you a school that wants to take part in Schools Out days?

If you're a school with schools with high pupil premium rates you may be eligible for support from Yorkshire Children's Charity. Check out out Find Help section to see what's available and how to sign up your school.

"Some of our children will never experience anything like this ever again. They were amazed by what was going on and I was welling up, I had tears in my eyes because they were so happy, it really does melt my heart."

"As the children left, I asked if they had a nice day. They'd all loved it and one girl said to me it was the best day of her life, which put a huge smile on my face!"

“We don’t have to put it forward to parents to pay for, which is a huge weight off some of our parents’ shoulders. One of the kids, they said to me, oh, how much is it? I’m not sure I can come. I said no, no it’s fine. This one’s free. Imagine a six- year-old even having that thought in their head…”

“I think it’s brilliant for their engagement, seeing theatre productions that they might never otherwise see and socialising with their friends outside of school. A lot of them don’t have that or can’t go to each other’s houses. They’re able to just be children today."

“It’s been the best day of my life! Ronaldo the goat was my favourite.”

“It means a lot to us. We’re giving children something they’ve not received in their 5 years - their whole life. This might be a once in a lifetime. They might never leave where they live. It’s well known in our area that where you’re born, you never leave. You just stay.”
