At Bure Valley School, we want our children to have as many experiences and opportunities as possible during their time with us. Therefore, we have created BVS Horizons.
Our Horizons experiences offer the children who attend our school the opportunity to take part in events that go beyond those offered by the National Curriculum.
Each year group aims to offer at least five experiences that encourage our children to look beyond their immediate world and begin to think about the wider world and what it can offer us.
Our current offer looks like this:
| Year group | Autumn 1 | Autumn 2 | Spring 1 | Spring 2 | Summer 1 | Summer 2 |
| 3 | Plan and lead an activity with younger children | Enter a regional or national competition | Interview a person from a non-Christian faith | Grow and eat your own food | Learn and perform a song in BSL | |
| 4 | Visit a book shop and speak to staff about their roles | Handle a real Roman artefact | Meet an illustrator | Sleep away from home | Perform in front of your peers | |
| 5 | Budget for and purchase food | Create a food-related business | Interview a religious leader | Cook a meal over the fire. | Take part in a Q&A with a company specialising in renewable energy | Experience the world and beyond in virtual reality |
