Key Stage 1 Adventure Days

At Key Stage One, an exciting and challenging day can be planned, aiming to encourage young children to become increasingly independent and self confident, as well as learning respect and caring for each other. Through a variety of physical or environmental activities we aim to encourage team work.

Many teachers see real benefits back in the classroom from a challenging ‘Day            Outdoors’ with this age group.

Low ropes course
Climbing
Nightline
Team challenges/problem solving e.g. the tunnel, spider’s web, mushroom field

Key Stage Two Residential Visits

Many schools enjoy bringing their Key Stage Two children for a taste of a variety of activities. All sessions are structured for maximum participation. Children are taught about safety and allowed to experience the sense of responsibility which goes with this new knowledge. When climbing, children are taught to belay (manage the safety rope under supervision), so everyone takes an active role at all times. In all activities we recognise the importance of suitable equipment. For example, in windsurfing, special lightweight junior rigs allow pupils to learn quickly. On these courses the aim is not to produce future champions, but to foster teamwork and self reliance through the introduction of new and exciting sports.


Field studies at Key Stage Two access all areas of the school curriculum. They provide a rich and varied context for students to acquire, develop and apply a broad range of knowledge, understanding and skills. Field study courses comprise a mixture of Field Studies and adventurous activities. All topics at Key Stage Two are of half a day duration, except River Study which is a whole day exercise.
