What will students see and do?

Go Ape has around 35 different locations throughout the United Kingdom. This particular location, Thetford, is about 45 minutes from Norwich and just under two hours north of London.

Go Ape is an adventure activities area in woodlands. Some of the activities offered include high ropes, balance ropes, forest segways, and more!

Go Ape will challenge students to complete an obstacle course while taking in the natural beauty of the forest area surrounding them. It also offers team games on the ground if your students want to take a break from the ropes.

These ground games offer a chance for students to work together and communicate effectively to achieve a common goal.

Go Ape activities give kids a boost in self-confidence. They allow kids to show off hidden skills and talents.

If you want your students to have an extra special day, a forest segway experience allows them to take in the stunning views while also learning about the environment at the same time.



Teaching resources provided

On the website you’ll find free learning resources, including printable KS1 and 2 English, maths, science and PSHE activities that can be completed at Go Ape (print them off and bring them with you), back at school or at home.

For KS3 and 4, you can download English, economics, science and geography activities.


Minimum and maximum group size

There must be more than six people on your trip to be considered a school group.

There’s no set maximum for students. However, Go Ape does charge a fixed rate for coaches to park, so you may want to take this into consideration when thinking about numbers.


Details of risk assessment

It’s a good idea to ask pupils to bring a pair of gloves for the obstacle course and to wear shoes with good grip and clothes that are suitable for the outdoors.

Go Ape has downloadable risk assessment documentation on its website.
