Message from FSC CEO Mark Castle
We are delighted to be looking ahead to the return of residential trips in 2021. The Department for Education have joined schools in recognising the importance of residential opportunities and are now working on a roadmap to restarting residentials from Easter 2021 in England. We’re hoping that other nations follow suit soon.
In the meantime, FSC is offering lots of opportunities to help schools catch up on missed teaching and learners build their knowledge ad skills. We will continue to offer our day courses and a range of digital and blended learning. We can continue to offer university residentials and family experiences and encourage you to get out and explore the great outdoors, as and when you can, this winter.
In July, all our centres were transformed to operate in a Covid-secure way so that we were able to welcome families, adults and young people to our wonderful locations. Since September we have been delivering day courses to schools, alongside a wide programme of digital and outreach options for those unable to travel.
However, the additional benefits which come with residential visits are incomparable for students and so we are encouraging schools to reserve their dates now, so they don’t miss out.
