Outdoor Education - Schools
Thornbridge Outdoors has been delivering schools programmes for over 30 years. It is located in the heart of the Peak District, a few miles outside Bakewell. A 55-acre site, in an idyllic setting, within easy reach of superb venues for many outdoor activities (including rock climbing / abseiling / caving / walking and mountain biking).
From a day visit to a residential experience, for Nursery, Primary, Secondary or 6th Form groups, Thornbridge has something to offer.

- The themes of SEAL (Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning)
- *Enhancement of your Healthy Schools programme
*By self-catering, its possible for young people to get involved in deciding on a menu, calculating costs, shopping, preparing a meal, laying tables, serving the meal and of course ... washing up! (tasks which they may not be familiar with at home).
Many schools have found that pupils are interested and keen to get involved in baking, as they learn about the importance of a healthy diet when taking part in physical activities. AQ visit to Thornbridge can provide a fantastic opportunity for young people to try new foods, increase awareness about food hyqiene and diet.
