What is typically included on our school trips

What you get starts before your trip, with our pre/post visit toolkit which will help you with evidencing for Ofsted. On the day itself, you’ll have a base room exclusively for your group where you can leave bags, enjoy your packed lunch and have a debrief at the end of the day. You’ll be assigned a dedicated activity leader(s) who will stay with you the whole day to limit contact. All of our day visits include 4 varied activities, designed specifically to support our key learning outcomes of confidence, resilience and life skills.

Group Sizes Catered For

Kingswood generally work with group sizes of 12 to 15 participants but our centres can accommodate much larger groups.

Materials, Resources & Information Provided

Kingswood, in partnership with Enrich Education, provide visitors with pre- and post-trip activity packs. These include a selection of activities that support PE, English, Maths, Science and Geography curricula, taken from the Enrich School Orienteering and Outdoor Learning Digital Hub. Each activity links with one of the six Kingswood curriculum categories (Challenge, Play, Explore, Discover, Social, Reflect). All activities include a teacher’s plan and children’s resource sheets where required.
In addition, Kingswood offers schools a unique ‘confidence tracker’ tool, created in partnership with insight specialists, Spike, and with counsel from Dr Alice Jones Bartoli and Professor Justin Dillon, to enable them to evidence and evaluate the success of a trip.
