Learning outside the classroom
Our experienced instructors can bring sessions to your school grounds.
All the activities have been designed to provide fun and practical ways to meet the skills requirements of the curriculum and enhance children’s social development in a safe and secure way. Through hands-on learning and discovery we aim to motivate and engage children to increase knowledge and understanding.
Our instructors will provide all the equipment required on the day and activities and programmes can be tailored to your needs regarding content, timing and location within the school site. This may be utilising outdoor space in the school grounds or a large indoor space, such as your assembly hall or gym.
We can either provide instructors to work with one group of pupils, or we can provide a carousel of activities, where several of our instructors deliver activities to smaller numbers of children, or to children from different year groups.
Sessions can be tailored to your school’s requirements and our staff can advise on suitable activities to suit the curriculum needs, together with managing risk effectively.
Bespoke programmes are available from £250 per day.
