Once a turn-of-the-century country estate this has been lovingly transformed into a superb residential educational activity centre set amidst landscaped & wooded grounds. The educational activity centre hosts residential school trips and educational visits throughout the year. A wide variety of programmes are available for all key stages including ICT, science, personal development and Lifeskills.
Originally a dedicated field study centre, the Hall is moments from the North Norfolk coastline which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Environmental fieldwork modules may be selected in any combination and specialise within geography, geology, biology and environmental science all programmes can be adapted to meet the teaching syllabus of your school.
Close to the main building, set among mature trees and shrubs, is an outdoor activity park where pupils face challenging adventures, which range from abseiling to orienteering. Here too, they can tackle a low ropes course, Quad-biking, laser-quest, submerge underground in our artificial caving system, solve a whole series of demanding initiative exercises, fire an arrow or learn to fence the list is endless. This is where they discover the importance of teamwork on our challenge course or learn to swallow their fears as they try out the climbing tower
