Why Kingswood? Imagine a place where young people are inspired to learn and grow; where challenges are faced, skills learnt, minds opened and potential nurtured everyday. At Kingswood this is what we do: • Inquisitive minds are encouraged to celebrate change. • Creative risk taking is always promoted and challenges tackled head on. • Confidence is built, resilience developed and self-esteem boosted along the way. Why Kingswood? Imagine a place where young people are inspired to learn and grow; where challenges are faced, skills learnt, minds opened and potential nurtured everyday. At Kingswood this is what we do.   With our educationally based philosophy and a focus on providing lifelong learning and invaluable experiences, every one of our enthusiastic, highly trained team is passionate about connecting with young people and helping them to become the very best that they can be. • Inquisitive minds are encouraged to celebrate change. • Creative risk taking is always promoted and challenges tackled head on. • Confidence is built, resilience developed and self-esteem boosted along the way. At Kingswood we create an enriching Learning Outside of the Classroom experience that not only supports young peoples ‘formal’ education, it complements their lives and helps them grow as individuals too.

It’s all in a day A typical day at Kingswood runs as follows: • Breakfast between 7.30am and 9am • First activities start around 9.30am • 10 minute juice break • Lunch time allocation between 12pm and 2pm • A full afternoon of activities • Evening meal time allocation between 5pm and 7pm • Evening entertainment from 8pm, followed by cocoa • Lights out by 10.15pm   The group will choose four of their preferred activities prior to the trip and the centre will then create a programme to meet all of their specific objectives, needs and learning outcomes. • 6 sessions per day, plus one final evening session. • Group sizes of no more than 15 plus a fully qualified Kingswood instructor and an adult from the group. • Students encouraged and praised during activities but are NEVER forced to take part if they are not comfortable doing so.    While other groups will also be present on centre during your stay, all programmes and activities are conducted separately, unless otherwise stated.

Home away from home • All residential dormitories are warm, comfortable and 100% secure. • Girls and boys sleep in separate areas and teachers rooms are located close by to allow for plenty of close supervision. • All bedding is provided on centre - one of the very first tasks for all students is making up their own beds! • Separate showers and toilet facilities are available for girls and boys. Depending on individual centres, some rooms come with en-suite facilities.   Kingswood cannot guarantee 100% safety for personal items brought onto centre and they will not be covered by insurance. It is therefore advisable to leave valuables – cameras, mobiles, iPods, MP3 players, computer games, jewellery - at home. A clearly named disposable camera is acceptable.

Food glorious food! It’s important for students to maintain high energy levels throughout their stay, so 3 freshly-prepared, healthy cafeteria-style meals are served in our communal dining area every day. A varied choice is always offered, with both hot and cold meals, a salad bar, at least one vegetarian option and yes, sometimes even chips!   Plenty of juice and water is available at all times. Most dietary requirements can be catered for as long as we are told in advance - forms will be issued to the group prior to your visit for this purpose and to establish any medical needs.

Bedtime routine To finish off each day, hot chocolate is served before students return to their dorms. Plenty of sleep is required to recharge the batteries, so lights are usually turned out by 10:15pm.

Safety & Wellbeing We know how nerve-wracking it can be letting your child go on a residential visit, so we do everything we can to make it a safe and enjoyable experience for all. Our policies and procedures are designed to make sure we adhere to the highest safety standards at all times: • Continual safety and first aid training for all staff • Regular checks on equipment before and after every activity session • Qualified First-Aider on centre 24/7. Mrs Bates is also qualified first aider. All Kingswood staff are fully DBS checked and are trained to take responsibility for the well-being of the children in their care. We have found the best way to help children cope with being away from home is to keep them busy, having fun from dawn ‘til dusk. We create a warm, supportive environment for students so they quickly feel at home and our activities are progressive, allowing students to join in at whatever level they’re comfortable with.

Any questions? Any questions?

Something to think about! Statistics show the biggest risk to children are incidents in their everyday lives. Teaching about risk taking and managing risk help children to develop and become better equipped to assess the dangers and risks they inevitably face in life. Thank you
