We are fortunate to have lots of loyal groups who book their fantastic residentials year after year. This can make it challenging for new schools to get dates with us but we will always try to find a date which works for everyone. This year our summer term has seen a 93% return rate which has blown us away and have meant we have only had space for a couple of new schools. That being said we limited spaces for smaller groups, up to 20 students. Get in contact if you are looking for an outstanding residential experience for your students.
