Year 6 Residential School Journey

Each November our Year 6 children travel to The Kingswood Outdoor Adventure Centre for a residential experience that focuses on challenge, independence and teamwork. Children take part in a broad mix of outdoor and adventure activities including high ropes, climbing. archery, obstacle courses, indoor lasers, shelter building and team problem solving.

These activities give every child the chance to take measured risks, build resilience and learn how to support one another. Many experience being away from home for the first time which strengthens independence and trust. Staff also gain a clear picture of each child’s strengths, needs and learning habits as they move into their final year at primary school.

Popular sessions such as the 3G swing, Jacobs Ladder, the aerial runway and Nightline encourage children to push their boundaries in a safe well supervised setting.

Children return with stronger friendships greater confidence and a sense of pride in what they have achieved together.
