Outdoor Education Activity Days

"We just wanted to send a quick Thank you email for the session in the climbing room last week. The children had a fantastic time and it was so lovely to see them work together and overcome fears and build resilience."

"The climbing wall sessions have a strong impact on both the physical development and wellbeing of our Year 4 and 5 pupils. With the help of experienced instructors, the children improved their strength, coordination and balance while engaging in a motivating and active challenge. Alongside this, they developed greater confidence and resilience as they tackled new heights and persevered through difficulty. The experience also fostered a sense of achievement, encouraged peer support and teamwork, and helped pupils build positive attitudes towards risk-taking and physical activity, contributing to their overall wellbeing."

Tommy - "I really loved tunnelling because I like guiding myself through the dark and trusting my friends."

Charlie - "I really enjoyed tunnelling because I faced my fears."

Ezra - "I loved canoeing because we capsized!!"

Nellie - "I really enjoyed canoeing because at first we were really bad, but at the end we got better. It also poured down with rain which was fun!!"

Kobi - "I loved the tunneling because it was a mystery. There was a leader and we had to follow each other and listen."

"We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone at Bryanston School for providing such an incredible Outdoor Adventure Day for our children and staff.

The range of activities, including climbing, canoeing, night line, and tunnelling, offered exciting opportunities for the children to challenge themselves, develop new skills, and build confidence. Every activity was thoughtfully planned and expertly delivered.

The leaders were exceptional throughout the day. They were supportive, inspiring, and encouraging, helping every child to step outside their comfort zone while promoting resilience, determination, and a positive attitude. Their communication with the children was outstanding, ensuring everyone felt safe, valued, and motivated to take part.

The delicious lunch provided was greatly appreciated and added to what was already a fantastic experience.

Most importantly, every child and adult came away saying they had the best day ever! The smiles, laughter, sense of achievement, and memories created throughout the day will stay with us for a long time.

Thank you for your generosity, hospitality, and dedication to creating such a special experience."

"A huge thank you to everyone at Bryanston School for providing our Year 4 children with such an incredible experience. The range of activities, from kayaking and tunnelling to blindfolded orienteering and climbing, challenged and inspired every child. It was wonderful to see their confidence, resilience and teamwork grow as they embraced each activity with enthusiasm and determination. Your staff were welcoming, encouraging and supportive throughout, helping to create lasting memories that the children will talk about for years to come. Thank you for making our visit so special. We are incredibly grateful for your time, care and expertise."

"Our Year 6 children thoroughly enjoyed visiting Bryanston this year! They were given the opportunity to try out activities they had never done before. In the Autumn Term, they experienced the indoor traverse climbing wall; in the Spring Term the outdoor climbing tower; and in the Summer Term the caving tunnels. The children showed resilience and determination, and great support for one another. The staff at Bryanston were fantastic: encouraging and supporting those that needed it, as well as challenging others to reach their full potential. Our Shillingstone pupils benefitted so much from these experiences! Thank you so much to Duncan and the Bryanston team for making this possible."
