Ready To Plan Your 2027 School Trip?📚

As students settle into the school year, now is the perfect time to start planning your September and October 2027 day visit or residential.

A school trip early in the academic year can help students settle into new routines, strengthen friendships, build confidence and develop the teamwork skills they'll need for the year ahead.🧗

At Lea Green, we offer memorable trips designed to support personal development, team building and outdoor learning. Through activities such as climbing, archery, caving, paddling and problem solving challenges, students can build confidence, develop resilience, strengthen relationships with their peers and teachers, and create lasting memories that help set them up for a successful year ahead.🌟
