Testimonials
We had a fantastic time at How Stean in July. The activities were fun, challenging and in a natural setting which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were organised, very well trained and extremely helpful / accommodating. They recorded amazing footage of our trip which the pupils loved watching back and parents enjoyed seeing the challenges their children overcame and the fun they had! We look forward to our next visit to How Stean! Thank you!! Rachel Hall – Seaham School
