Currently, we do not provide specific materials and resources linked to the curriculum or key stages. Our focus is on delivering hands-on, experiential learning through our wide range of activities. We believe that the immersive experiences at Condover Hall, guided by our trained instructors, provide valuable learning opportunities that complement classroom education. However, we are always open to collaborating with teachers to tailor activities to meet specific educational goals and curriculum requirements.

Groups are authorised to take photographs, film, and audio recordings during their visit provided this is of their own group with Group Leaders seeking the relevant permissions in accordance with their school’s policy. However, we request that any media captured is used respectfully and in accordance with our safeguarding policies. 

We provide comprehensive risk assessments for all activities and facilities at Condover Hall. These assessments are available for teachers to review prior to their visit. Our risk assessments cover all aspects of safety, including activity-specific risks, site security, and emergency procedures.
