UK School Residential and Day Trips

Residential Trips

Our range of residential adventure trips can be designed to support all of your pupils’ educational requirements and can provide valuable opportinities for promoting teamwork, social skills and communication skills. Poole Harbour offers possibly the safest and most idyllic location, and a secure and happy setting for children to experience a residential trip away from home. With space for adventure, we offer diverse and challenging experiences which will inspire and excite your pupils.

Our residential trips, based at Rockley Point include full-board accommodation, instruction by qualified instructors, use of all equipment and a whole range of evening activities. Whether you want a day, a weekend or a week long trip we offer flexible adventure trips to suit the varied needs of your group.

Day Trips

Our Poole Park centre is ideal for our daily sessions. With shallow and extremely safe activity areas, they offer the best introduction to watersports for school children. RYA certificated sessions are available in dinghy sailing or short taster and multi-activity sessions in sailing, windsurfing, stand up paddleboarding and kayaking.

Andy Darch from Kings Park Academy explains the importanc of offering day trips outside the classroom; "The confidence that it’s given our children is really important to us. For some, they don’t necessarily find school easy, but they get such enjoyment and satisfaction out of it and are achieving real success. Honestly, three years ago we didn’t have anybody sailing, now they all want to do it! It’s given some of them a real sense of purpose in school, especially for those in their final year, of wanting to continue to learn a new skill and a desire to carry on at school."

Inspiring Healthier Lives

Healthy eating contributes significantly to the lives of children and young people. At Rockley, we ensure your pupils receive three healthy, balanced meals a day.

For those staying with us at Rockley Point, all our food is prepared on-site at the Rockley Lodge by our own catering staff. 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.
