On Thursday 6th November 2025, Prep V will be visiting Quarry Bank Mill. On arrival, they will step back in time and meet the superintendent of the Apprentice House to find out what life was like for the children who were the apprentices at Samuel Gregg’s cotton mill. In the afternoon, the children will tour the mill to learn about the lives of mill workers, trying some of the jobs done by the apprentices and finding out about working conditions.

We will be leaving school at 9am and return at approximately 3.15pm. The children will need to wear full school uniform and a school coat. A packed lunch will be provided. There is a small gift shop on site, therefore your child may wish to bring a small amount of spending money.
