School Residentials

Our residential trips are a highlight of the school calendar. Designed to give children a change of environment, these outdoor adventure trips challenge pupils to try new activities, step outside their comfort zones, and develop their independence.

Staying away from home builds strong bonds between peers, strengthens relationships with school adults, and fosters resilience and teamwork. Whether taking their first steps towards staying overnight or celebrating the end of their junior school journey, our children make memories that last a lifetime.

We recognise that staying away from home can be a big deal for families, and to ensure every child feels supported and confident, we organise our residentials very carefully:

• All trips are led by experienced Fleetville staff who have organised and managed many residentials over the years.

• A high ratio of school adults attends every trip to provide familiar, round-the-clock pastoral care.

• Before each trip, we host detailed parent information evenings, distribute comprehensive information packs, and send out health and dietary questionnaires well in advance to ensure every need is catered for.
