Why go on a residential?

- More than just a fun

- Residential trips for schools are a key part of the national curriculum.

- Teachers can create experiences that enhance pupils’ classroom learning, adding opportunities pupils may not otherwise have, particularly in outdoor learning.

- Children have far more access to natural outdoor environments.

- To encourage children’s independence and a sense of personal responsibility.

- Builds children’s confidence and encourages them to work together.
