Where Curriculum for Excellence comes alive, confidence grows and every child has the chance to discover what they’re capable of.
5-day residentials
We have two centres offering cross-curricular primary and curriculum-led secondary courses which support SQA qualifications: one on the Isle of Cumbrae and the other, just over the border in the Lake District, Cumbria.
Our mission is to create outstanding opportunities for everyone to learn about nature and will work with you to identify the outcomes you need from a residential or fieldtrip. We are proud to enable student progression through the four capacities to become successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
We are registered on a number of Public Contracts Scotland Frameworks including Quick Quotes and for PEF, plus we are Approved Framework Providers in eight counties:
| Dumfries and Galloway | Angus |
| West Lothian | North Lanarkshire |
| Dundee | South Lanarkshire |
| Perth and Kinross | East Ayrshire and Inverclyde |
