UK School Residential Trips

Residential trips can help school-age children to develop independence and bond with their peers and teachers in informal settings. They provide a wonderful opportunity for children to begin their journey as independent people with lives outside of their homes.

Our UK multi-activity school trips are based at our flagship centre in Poole - Rockley Point, Budden Activity Centre near Wareham and at our Poole Park centre. We offer a blend of challenging and rewarding activities that can be enjoyed residentially or on a day visit for primary school and secondary school pupils.

All our food is prepared on-site by our own catering staff and ingredients are fresh and locally sourced giving each child all the energy they need to enjoy their action-packed adventure. All our guests get provided with their essential five-a-day - with us, the only food choice is a healthy choice.

The meal times are an important social aspect of the trip. At Rockley we ensure there is adequate time available to eat their meal and chat about the activities and learning that the children have experienced in the day.
