Recent studies by Learning Away suggests that the positive impacts of residentials are greater the sooner a residential takes place in the school year.  Here are some compelling reasons why....

·       Imagine teaching a class with more self-belief for the rest of the school year after going on a winter residential

·       Going on a residential in the winter months will give them a passion for learning which can live on throughout the year.

·       A winter residential allows time for learning and development to be embedded back in school

·       Residentials foster deeper relationships which are sustained back in school. The sooner you get to know your pupils; the sooner you can set them up for success

·       Winter offers new learning opportunities; think night walks, warming by the fire, star gazing and plenty of hot chocolate!

·       Our prices for winter months are lower making your residential more affordable for families
