Hollowford is also very popular with older children and their teachers. We have worked with every school year with a variety of objectives including transition events at the start of the school year for newly arrived Y7’s to sixth form events involving cooperation between pupils from several different schools & colleges.

We offer a wide range of outdoor activities that include both on-site and off-site activities.

Activities on offer include:
We hold an AALA (Adventurous Activities Licensing Authority) license. Our staff are generally qualified to a higher standard than the minimum requirements and are, more importantly, highly experienced. By working with small groups (8-10) each child has the opportunity to participate fully .

Lindley Educational Trust welcomes the government led initiative to get young people learning outside of the classroom.

The value of outdoor education and other educational visits cannot be underrated and provides a powerful stimulus for young peoples development.  Our programmes inspire young people, engage them in challenging activities and encourage them to develop their personal and social skills.

Outdoor Education should be; Frequent, Continuous & Progressive
