Residential visits
A residential visit is an exciting new adventure for children at primary school. Often, a residential school trip is the first time many young students have stayed away from home.
Discover what residential options are available at all of our centres. We are able to offer including bell tents, yurts, log cabins and camping (using own tents).
This guide has been created to help schools and organisations get the most out of their outdoor learning experiences.
If you're interested in enquiring about a residential trip for your students, please fill in our enquiry form.
With AHOEC, English Outdoor Council, Learning Outside the Classroom and Learning Away combining their knowledge and resources into this helpful document you can challenge your outdoor learning providers in order to get the most out of your outdoor learning experiences.
Including the 10 key outcomes of high quality outdoor learning, the benefits of outdoor learning as well as high quality indicator checklists, this handy little guide combines information to help you help your students.
The benefits
School residentials have been shown to promote various benefits for young people in terms of personal development, such as:
- a greater sense of independence
- personal confidence
- improved interpersonal skills
- a greater sense of personal responsibility and time-keeping
- personal care and hygiene
When did you last review your current residential provision?
- Are your residentials of a high quality?
- Do you see development between year group residentials?
- Do you work with learning outcomes to ensure a quality experience?
- Have you reviewed travelling time versus costs?
Put SOLD to the test - we can offer you:
- High quality residential experiences: teepees, yurts or luxury log cabins
- A developmental, joined up programme of residential visits from year group to year group.
- Plan, Do, Review: we create robust learning outcomes
- Why spend hundreds of pounds on travelling long distances, when your outdoor experiences can start sooner?
And what could be more fun than living in the outdoors and spending quality time with your friends?
