We are the UK’s largest provider of outdoor education and residential courses for students aged 8-17 years old.

We own and manage centres across the UK that operate all year round – not just for a few weeks in the summer – and are British Council approved.

Our courses for juniors include a combination of English lessons, with qualified teachers, excursions to places of interest and on-site adventure activities.

Individuals and groups can book any programme through a local agent. For your nearest agent please email us.

We go above and beyond to protect the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our care.

Our long-standing dedication to safety has led to us holding over 15 governing and safety accreditations, and we voluntarily apply for Ofsted inspections to be on the Childcare Register.

Everything we do is built on five protective pillars:

Safe people banner

Safe People People are at the heart of all we do. From our ‘safer recruitment’ process (including enhanced DBS for all centre colleagues) to our in-depth training programmes, continuous development and supervision, we go the extra mile to ensure our guests are in the safest of hands.

Safe places banner
