Kingswood is a well-established company which provides learning outside the classroom in a safe, secure environment.
Their aim is provide a residential trip which will instil self-confidence and a sense of achievement to each individual child, through a positive, enjoyable - sometimes challenging, experience.

The centre is called Peak Venture; it is located near Pennistone, close to Scout Dike Reservoir. It’s approximately 20 miles from school, which will be about an hours coach ride (less if you travel by car).

We can’t promise which activities yet but we are very keen to participate in a water-based activity at the nearby reservoir.
With over 40 activities to choose from: canoeing, abseiling, 3G swing, giant zipwire and raft building to name a few.
We will be liaising with Kingswood to ensure the programme suits everyone in the year group.
