Kingswood Outdoor Activity Centre North Devon

What makes us a great choice for education

Kingswood offer a range of educational outdoor adventure programmes that are suitable for all key stages; integrating a variety of curriculum content within activities and working with teachers to bring subject content to life. The benefits of outdoor learning on mental health and wellbeing are proven, and all activities are designed to help build confidence and resilience.

Accreditation and Awards

We are AALA licensed, and OFSTED registered. 

What is typically included on our school trips

We tailor our visits to best match the needs of each group. This ensures that we provide a fun, rewarding service that achieves the goals of every visiting group.

Groups can expect their participants to leave having been encouraged to push their comfort zones further, work on their own personal responsibility through elements of the sessions, and, most importantly, have a great time!

Group Sizes Catered For

We can facilitate group sizes that range from 10 up to whole year groups of 150.

Materials, Resources & Information Provided

Kingswood, in partnership with Enrich Education, provide visitors with pre- and post-trip activity packs. These include a selection of activities that support PE, English, Maths, Science and Geography curricula, taken from the Enrich School Orienteering and Outdoor Learning Digital Hub. Each activity links with one of the six Kingswood curriculum categories (Challenge, Play, Explore, Discover, Social, Reflect). All activities include a teacher’s plan and children’s resource sheets where required. In addition, Kingswood offers schools a unique ‘confidence tracker’ tool, created in partnership with insight specialists, Spike, and with counsel from Dr Alice Jones Bartoli and Professor Justin Dillon, to enable them to evidence and evaluate the success of a trip.

Photography, Filming & Audio Restrictions

We encourage visitors to take photos and videos of their experience.

We will work with you to ensure we have photo consent if we take photos/videos for promotional use.
