Schools Residential

Courses run by Black Mountain Activities
are designed to support Key Stages 2-4 of the National Curriculum. Outdoor education provides an exciting, physical medium for learning, aimed to develop each pupil as an individual, a member of society and a future adult member of the community.
Students will be given the opportunity to learn an unrivalled variety of new skill and abilities, to recognise and accept their own personal strengths and limitations. Your schools needs will be discussed before a definite programme can be designed.
