School trips and Educational visits to Stockeld Park

Our aim is to provide children with an environment that allows them to create their own experiences. They can skate on our large eco-friendly skate rink or burn up energy learning how to nordic ski on our 1.2km trail through the Enchanted Forest. Alternatively, they can walk through the Enchanted Forest taking more time to experience the sights and sounds whilst completing our interactive worksheets. They can also take up the challenge of finding their way through the giant snowflake shape hedge maze.

Children will not only be inspired by our unique environment and challenged by our activities but will be given the opportunity to partake in physical exercise, whilst benefitting from the fresh air and beauty of a country estate setting.

Launched in November 2006, the 'Learning outside the classroom' manifesto seeks to ensure that all children and young people experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of their learning and personal development. It is amazing what can be achieved in just one day outside the school.
