Planning a school residential is an exciting opportunity, but with so many options available, it can be difficult to know which will have the greatest impact on your pupils. That’s why we’re inviting teachers and school leaders to join our Adventure School Discovery Webinars and explore how a Field Studies Council residential can deliver far more than a few days away from the classroom.
Adventure residentials are about more than activities. While experiences such as climbing, canoeing, and ghyll scrambling provide the challenge, the real value lies in the confidence, resilience, teamwork, and independence pupils develop along the way.
As expectations of residentials evolve, schools are increasingly looking for experiences that support wellbeing, strengthen relationships, and deliver lasting benefits. For over 80 years, Field Studies Council has worked with schools to provide purposeful outdoor learning programmes that support pupil development and complement classroom learning.
During the webinar, you’ll learn more about our approach, explore what makes a high-quality residential experience, hear how schools have benefited from partnering with us, and discover how adventure-based learning can support your school’s goals and pupil development.
Whether you’re planning your first residential or reviewing your current offer, join us to discover how purposeful adventure can support your pupils’ development long after the residential has ended.

Hear from experts
Hear from members of our education and school partnerships teams as they share practical guidance, real-life examples, and educational insights from working with schools across the UK. You’ll gain valuable ideas to support residential planning, demonstrate educational value, and maximise impact for your pupils.
Who are the webinars for?
This webinar is designed for teachers, EVCs, headteachers, deputy and assistant heads, outdoor learning leads, and anyone responsible for planning residentials, enrichment programmes, or outdoor learning opportunities within their school. It’s ideal for those looking to maximise the educational and personal development benefits of a residential experience.
