What will students see and do?
Outdoor activity centres make perfect learning environments. Whether it’s a reward trip at the end of the year or a team-building weekend for your pupils, Grange Hall proves the point that education can be exciting.
This outdoor centre provides your pupils with the opportunity to push themselves in new ways and try things they might not get the chance to try every day. School residential trips can help to build rapport between students and introduce your class to staying away from home. It’s the ideal way to develop the kinds of skills that can sometimes be tricky to teach in a classroom.
If you’re looking for something exciting, challenging, and refreshing for your pupils, a trip to Grange Hall Activity Centre is the ideal thing for you.
Set in the beautiful south west, near the coast and the village of Northam, Grange Hall is ready to welcome your class for a few days of fun and discovery. Whether it’s a one-day trip or a residential stay, you’ll pack plenty in. All of the activity sessions are led by trained professionals and Grange Hall has the quality badge from the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom – so you can be sure that they’re a high-quality team to work with.
One of the things that makes Grange Hall so exciting is the range of school activities on offer.

How does the trip link to the curriculum?
Being outdoors means that your children will have the opportunity to learn things that supplement classroom teaching. It also means they will be able to learn more about science and the natural environment in an interactive, hands-on way.
Working in a new setting builds skills like confidence and teamwork. All the Grange Hall activities allow your pupils to learn more about themselves, each other, and the great outdoors.
A trip to Grange Hall will help your class develop in these areas in particular:
– Physical education
– Independence
– Teamwork
– Overcoming fears and worries
– Confidence in learning
Important developments in a child’s self-belief and learning can happen on trips to outdoor centres. Pupils will spend their time learning how to listen, meet new challenges, and have fun while doing so.
