A weekend residential is anything but bog-standard at Outward Bound.

In fact, it’s packed with as much learning as a whole week in school.

With fast immersion into the wild as soon as you step off the bus, the adventure and learning are full-on until the second you leave.

And it doesn’t end there! Teachers say they see huge changes back in the classroom: increased confidence, improved resilience and a greater sense of self-belief.

A three-day weekend residential is perfect for:

• Introducing a first residential experience or as a stepping stone to a longer programme.
  
  
• Developing skills like resilience ahead of exams or confidence with the transition.
  
  
• Supporting mental wellbeing with an immersion in nature and a broader horizon.
  
  
• Smaller groups, like students who will benefit from focussed interaction between peers and teachers.
