Our Year 6 children benefit from a 2-night residential in their final year at the school. The children get the opportunity to partake in a range of outdoor and adventurous activities as well as a variety of team building activities. These activities are all designed to develop children’s resilience, team building skills and confidence, as well as covering the objectives for outdoor education in the National Curriculum. The cost of the trip includes indoor sleeping accommodation, food, activities, transport and insurance. The centre is run by qualified instructors, who specialise in activity holidays for young people – please click on the logo above to be taken to their website.

Activities: The exact activities are not yet finalised, but will include activities such as climbing, abseiling, archery, aeroball, zip wire and a range of team-building activities. One of the activities will be water-based, such as paddle boarding or kayaking. 

Accommodation: We have two lodges for the trip: one for the boys and one for the girls. The children will sleep in single-sex dormitories and have showers, sinks and toilets in their lodge. The children will receive three meals a day and dietary requirements will be catered for. If your child has any severe allergies or specific requirements, then please let me know nearer the time so that we can alert Blackland Farm of his or her needs.
