Edgmond Hall Centre for Outdoor Learning

We still have some opportunities to work with school groups in the Autumn term. What a way to kickstart the year... drop us a line to learn more and we'll do what we can to make it possible!

We are not like other centres…..

At Edgmond Hall we utilise a child centred approach to create a perfectly balanced programme of Discovery, Learning, Challenge, Support and Reflection.

Our courses are not about how much we can cram into a day, our focus is on providing the best possible holistic experience for education, personal growth, social development and mental wellbeing.

We don’t believe in activities which involve short experiences and waiting for turns. We believe in maximising the learning opportunities that the outdoor residential provides, supporting teachers to celebrate and quantify these experiences so that they can be used back in the classroom to help raise attainment and strengthen the learning journeys of the children who visit us.

They didn't know one of our team was at the prospective Y7 open evening, so it's a pretty nice feeling when the Headteacher, Head Girl, Head of Y7 and a current Y7 pupil of one of the TOP schools in the West Midlands each tell prospective parents and pupils how important and memorable their Y7 visit to Edgmond Hall is!

There we are, right above DofE in the prospectus. (ahem 😁)

"Our Year 7 students spend a day team building and getting to know each other at Edgmond Hall in late September / early October. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet classmates and forge new friendships that often last throughout their time at school!"

Shucks you guys 😊 . And imagine what we could do with a bit longer!!

In seriousness we were delighted to hear this. The autumn term is a key time to support transition; building relationships that last and developing a sense of belonging.

A huge thanks to Matt from RS who kindly spent a day volunteering with us this week 🙏. He helped clear blocked paths and cut back our archery area; hundreds of children will benefit from improved experiences at Edgmond Hall thanks to his hard work! He did help look after the goats, hens and rabbits too... Not too much of a chore though that one 😁
