5 ways to switch your residential trips up

Although residential visits are not mandatory, they are a key part of the school year. The Conway Centres, recently awarded The Best Residential Experience at this year’s School Travel awards, provides children and young people a unique opportunity to claim their independence, make their own decisions and build new friendships.

1.      When to visit


Autumn and winter months = low prices + more benefits! We know that a winter residential brings more challenging weather, but what better way to encourage children to thrive in the natural environment? Whether they are navigating the demanding Menai Strait in Anglesey or venturing in the vast woodlands of Delamere, children will gain valuable insights, ready for their school year ahead. You will pay less but children have the opportunity to take away so much more…

2. Bring multiple year groups


With the price of coaches ever on the rise, why not consider taking multiple year groups? You may choose to take one group Monday – Wednesday and then another Wednesday – Friday to save on coach costs on the Wednesday handover day. Or why not take two-year groups to the large Anglesey centre at once? This not only reduces costs but children can enjoy socialising, bonding and making life-long memories with other year groups.

3. Set curriculum linked outcomes 


A residential is a great chance for children and young people to enjoy an adventure-filled few days but at Conway Centres they can work with you on a tailored programme to bring your classroom learning to life. All of the activities and programmes have been specifically designed to support with the curriculum to ensure your children get the most out of their visit. 

4. Progress through the centres 


With four locations across Cheshire and North Wales, Conway Centres has a centre perfect for every year group. Why not consider progressing through the different centres or programmes?

Primary schools often bring their Year 1s or 2s for their first residential to the Delamere centre and then their year 3s to the Burwardsley centre to learn about the Iron age. The largest Cheshire centre in Tattenhall is great for year 4s before they experience the Anglesey centre which is the home of high adventure in Year 5 or 6.

Or if you are a secondary school a Year 7 Transition to Secondary residential is a great way to support them settling in or why not try out an Exam Support Course or Revision Adventure residential that will raise attainment in their KS4 exams? Groups can even progress beyond the centre on expeditions - with Anglesey’s coastline, the peaks of Snowdonia’s mountain ranges and glacial valleys right on the doorstep.

Your school, children and young people will be welcomed back by the same friendly faces and have the comfort that you know the centres and how they work. For multiple residential visits, discounts can be made.
