We welcome a pre visit meeting (virtual or on-site) to discuss an inclusion plan and we will do our upmost to be fully inclusive. Wheelchair access to the buildings is limited and wheelchair access to some of the activities requires some manual handling, again come and talk to us about your specific requirements.

We cater for all manner of dietary requirements week in week out and our domestic team would be happy to speak to you privately about any special requirements.

General Notes

We are providing this residential at discounted price, we would value your feedback during and after the trip to help us shape the product. We have been running residentials for schools and Youth groups for over 20 years so don’t worry, its not our first rodeo. We have not engaged with the home education community before and our knowledge is limited to our own home educating manager Henry, so we are looking to broaden our experience in order to provide residentials that have value.

We do need at least 10 paying clients to book onto this trip to make it viable to run, if we don’t get that number you will of course be fully refunded.
