A home away
from home

A residential trip for primary schools is an experience that is all-inclusive. We provide tasty and nutritious meals in our diners to keep children going throughout their action-packed itinerary.

Our dormitory-style accommodation is gender-separated and can house 2 to 16 in bunk beds. Some rooms are en-suite but there are always separate toilet and shower facilities for guests close to dormitories.

Inspiring
Adventures

A Kingswood residential trip for primary schools gives students the chance to experience:

A breath of fresh air                                                   A taste of independence

A sense of achievement                                           An open space

The chance to try something new                       The friendships forged

The feeling of leaving with greater confidence


Our Confidence Tracker tool allows you to evidence and evaluate the trip, along with the pre and post-visit toolkit that links your trips to tangible learning outcomes.

Frequently asked
Questions for Primary Schools

Can I see a sample menu?

Precise menus will vary depending on the length and time of your stay, however you can find a typical Kingswood sample menu here.

Is there a shop onsite?

Yes there are tuck shops onsite where you can purchase drinks, snacks and souvenirs. If you wish to visit these at set times, please discuss with the Guest Service Centre teams prior to your arrival.

Do we need to bring our own bedding?

At Kingswood, we provide all the bedding you'll need for your stay. However, your students' first challenge will actually be making their beds with us. Tidy room tidy mind!

Can our group choose specific activities?

This comes down to what your group organiser has decided with the trip planner, however we do have different programmes to suit different age groups, learning outcomes, etc. You can find our full list of programmes here.

Can you cater to different dietary requirements?

Of course. Just let us know about dietary requirements and allergies we need to be aware of before your trip. If you'd like to know more, you can read our Allergy & Intolerances Policy.

Can the adults join in the activities too?

There should be at least one adult for each group of 15 children. At the end of the activity session, e.g. Zipwire, if all children have had their go, the adults are free to have a turn.

Can I preview the centre prior to my visit?

We are always happy to accommodate a preview of our centres. Please contact the centre you’re visiting to arrange a suitable date and time with the customer service department. Call our team on 0800 655 6564.

We are holders of the LOtC quality badge. This means you can be assured that we have met with required standards around safety, activity provision and learning outcomes. The Outdoor Education Advisers’ Panel endorses the LOtC Quality Badge and the majority of Local Authority Outdoor Education Advisers have indicated that they accept the award in place of some or all of their checks. You can view which Local Authority Outdoor Education Advisers support the LOtC Quality Badge by visiting the OEAP website here.

Are you able to cater for specific dietary needs for those with allergies/intolerances?

We can cater for most dietary requirements. Please contact the centre as soon as possible to make them aware of any allergies which they can discuss with you to ensure the correct provisions are in place for your visit

Do we get lunch on departure day?

Yes. All guests get a packed lunch on departure and a hot option can be provided at an extra cost.

Can I add more guests to my booking?

Changes can be made to the number of guests up until room allocations and activity groups are set eight weeks prior to the trip. Changes after this point will depend on accommodation and activity availability on centre and it may not be possible to accommodate additional guests.

When will we receive our programme and room allocations?

We aim to send out your room plan and activity programme four weeks prior to your trip. To ensure we meet this deadline, we ask you to provide gender splits eight weeks prior to the trip. Details of the information required will be in your twelve week email and can be provided to us via your centre contact.
