LEARNING OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM

Nothing inspires and engages kids more than a school trip outside the classroom. At Challenge Academy we provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to experience outdoor adventurous activities, learn and develop a range of life skills and get to know each other,  whilst having fun and adventure in the great outdoors. We work closely with schools to develop a tailored programme for the day to meet their specific needs.

    "

    The instructors are amazing and so encouraging when you have those occasional ‘I can’t do this’ moments! There are lots of them which means their organisation is second to none, safety is paramount and all this for a fantastically great value price! I didn’t know this place existed but I’ll be spreading the word, Thank you Challenge Academy! Windsor High School

    My staff could not praise you enough for our Prefect Rewards Trip. We arrived at 10am in the pouring rain and already had staff waiting in the carpark to greet us. Despite the weather, the Challenge Academy staff ensured that spirits were high and all of the pupils completed team building activities and the high ropes, the staff were on hand to motivate and encourage the pupils to push themselves out of their comfort zones. We were amazed at how much the prefects managed to achieve and were very grateful for all of the support. We will absolutely be visiting Challenge Academy again in the future Barr Beacon School

    We enjoyed an amazingday out at Challenge Academy, testing all our new found Essential Skills. Students got to take part in a number of team work challenges to see where their skills excel and where they may need a little more work. The groups really embraced the challenges and made amazing progress over one day The Edge Academy

    We brought a group of year 7 lads over and they loved it! I thought Josh was fantastic with them and ensured that they were engaged throughout the whole time, whilst also embedding some key life skills such as communication and teamwork. We look forward to the next opportunity of bringing some of our most vulnerable learners to visit Challenge Academy as we feel it truly benefits them Beacon Hill School
