“I cannot begin to explain the excitement and buzz that our pupils and staff returned to school with this week. Both groups that attended Standon Bowers have said how inclusive and supportive all your staff were with our pupils. It really is difficult to find places that offer equal opportunities, so we would like to say a massive thank you to all involved.”
-Heather Martin - Assistant Headteacher, Green Park School.
Flint & Fire programmes – for year’s 3 and 4
Stone Age: Our immersive programme offers hands-on historical exploration that enhances learners’ understanding and appreciation of ancient cultures and their lasting legacies. With interactive and engaging activities that explore fire lighting techniques, hunting skills and ancient crafts, the programme is a fantastic way to explore the topic with your students.
Saxons & Vikings: Our 1 or 2-day course is suitable for year 3 and 4 students and is based at our Laches Wood centre. Learners experience the lives of the traders, raiders, warriors and people of the Saxon and Viking era. They explore the timeline, what life was like, weaponry and how what we know as ‘England’ came to be.
“The staff and overall ethos of the place, including the thoughtful experiences provided for all of our children has made this residential truly memorable. The links to the curriculum were outstanding and allowed our children to demonstrate their strengths and knowledge - encouraging them to share etc. The experience of the instructors here cannot be under-estimated - their control, especially for more vulnerable, SEND or nervous children has been a real highlight.”
-Teacher, attendee at Laches Woods with Year 6 pupils.
