• Special Needs Schools
• Alternative Curriculum Schools

Our seven-acre woodland centre in Simonstone provides a safe, inspiring environment where students can learn through hands-on exploration, teamwork and challenge.

Curriculum Linked Outdoor Learning

Outdoor and adventurous activities are a powerful tool for supporting a wide range of curriculum areas, including:

• Physical Education
• Geography
• History
• Science
• Art & Design
• Citizenship
• PSHE

We work closely with teachers and group leaders to understand your learning aims and objectives. Together, we design an outdoor activity programme that reinforces classroom learning through real-world, practical experiences.

Developing Skills for Life

Participating in outdoor activities helps young people develop essential life skills that support them both in school and beyond, such as:

• Confidence and resilience
• Communication and teamwork
• Problem-solving and decision-making
• Independence and self-management
• Social and emotional well-being

These skills support learners not only in school but throughout their everyday lives.
