Spring 2023 Offer
CategoriesNews by

As the longer days emerge, Spring is a great time for schools to reap the rewards of learning outside the classroom with a residential break. 

 

Our planned programmes for the Spring Term are specifically intended to motivate children part way through the school year with adventurous activity courses designed to build resilience and develop character whilst encouraging children to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle all year round!

Aside from the associated social advantages of a residential trip, a mid-year adventure contributes towards a positive impact on engagement in learning, improved behaviour and attendance post-residential.

As we are fully booked during the Summer Term 2023 we are offering a fantastic discount for the remaining available dates in the Spring term of 2023! – See dates below!
