find your path…
During Year 10 and 11, GCSE students begin their journey of choosing their path in the world. Our five-day Moorland Pathfinder programme encourages students to assess risk, face fears, make decisions, and take action – a valuable mindset for plotting one’s path to follow dreams.
Students will learn to read the wind and navigate across a lake on a windsurfer, look for the best footholds scaling sandstone cliffs, time the waves to surf back to shore, and challenge other teams to an epic adventure race.
Taking on these challenges, students will build self-confidence and self-esteem – making new friendships and creating memoires for a lifetime along the way.

PERSONAL GROWTH
Each student will be challenged at a level to suit their ability.

Confidence will be built through achieving success but also in the ability to deal with failure.
SOCIAL SKILLS

They will need to build relationships with their team members in order to solve problems and overcome challenges together – grasping the importance of how helping and supporting one another can have an impact at home, at school, and in the future.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
Spending time in the real outdoors provides students with the opportunity to connect with nature and get a better understanding of how human activity affects our fragile landscapes and eco-systems.
