Why Schools are Opting for Autumn Outdoor Residentials 

In recent years, there has been a noticeable surge in schools choosing Autumn for their outdoor residentials, and the reasons are compelling. Contrary to the misconception that it might be too cold, September and October offer some of the most pleasant weeks of the year.

Ideal Weather for Outdoor Adventures

The Autumn term provides a Goldilocks scenario for outdoor activities – not too hot, not too cold. While we can’t control the weather, September and October often boast mild temperatures, making it an ideal time for schools to embark on outdoor adventures. Teachers who have experienced Autumn residentials at Active Learning Centres consistently highlight the comfortable climate as a key factor that enhances the overall experience for students.

Kickstart the School Year with Stronger Bonds

The beginning of the academic year sets the tone for the months ahead, and what better way to foster a positive environment than with an Autumn residential? Active Learning Centres provide the perfect backdrop for building strong bonds and deeper relationships between students and staff. The immersive outdoor setting creates opportunities for teamwork, communication, and shared experiences, laying a solid foundation for a cohesive and successful school year.

Quieter, More Personable Experience

While Active Learning Centres are known for their personable approach throughout the year, the Autumn term offers a unique advantage – a quieter environment. With fewer crowds and a more intimate atmosphere, students can fully immerse themselves in the outdoor activities and take full advantage of the tailored programs. This personalised experience contributes to a more meaningful and memorable trip for everyone involved.
