School and Young People

We offer programmes for groups from year 5 upwards that can:

• Encourage co-operation

• Enhance self-confidence

• Increase self awareness

• Teach new skills

• Develop emotional literacy

• Provide enjoyment

• Promote individual fulfilment

• Establish safe practice

We use problem-solving situations that involve all the young people in the group. We develop interpersonal skills such as:

• Listening

• Improved communication

• Co-operation

• Meeting new challenges

• Building emotional self esteem

• Structured planning

• Awareness of the team, the task and the individual

• Recognising strengths

• Valuing differences

• Respect for other’s ideas and opinions

• How to learn safely from mistakes

• Celebrating success.

Programmes are individually designed to meet the needs of your group and we welcome the opportunity to plan it with you. These may include leadership skills, prefect training, national curriculum and issues such as bullying or social inclusion.
High priority is placed on safety, sensitivity, and confidentiality - everyone must be and feel physically and psychologically safe.

Our experienced facilitators are trained to work with young people from all walks of life. We encourage everyone to reach their potential while experiencing the activities at a personally acceptable level.

The outdoor activities are used to develop methods of working in a supportive environment. We offer challenge by choice. Young people learn important skills that can be applied to other areas of school and personal life. We actively support the Trailblazers initiative.
