Just a quick note to say thanks very much for the session today. I have already had some very positive feedback from the students, and I thought it was high quality and really fun and engaging. Great to have them moving around, on their feet, and listening to each other a little more!

FAQs

  • Usually, yes. We understand that one of the largest costs for an offsite school experience is the transport needed to get there.

    Therefore, we transform your school and its facilities into your very own outdoor learning environment.

  • Summer bookings: where possible everything will happen outdoors if the space at your school allows. We may ask to reserve an indoor space for inclement weather .

    Autumn and Spring: whilst we will aim to facilitate as many activities as possible outside it is likely that we will look to use a school hall/ gym or classroom for some of our thinking and problem-solving sessions.

  • We would love to welcome as many school staff as possible to the day to support the students and get involved in some of the activities. However, we understand that releasing staff from their busy teaching timetables is difficult. Our facilitators will run all sessions, so we will just need some school staff on hand to support on more pastoral matters and supervise during any breaks.

  • These days are predominantly delivered in the south and east of England. If your school is further afield then please do continue to get in touch and we look into it further
