In the new academic year we are proud to be introducing our new post-16 exam board specific programme to all of our specialist environmental study centres. This offers a full range of high quality courses that fully take advantage of the local environment. Every Kingswood centre is remarkable in its own way, all benefiting from diverse landscapes and rich environmental heritage such as a National Park, an eroding shoreline or an excellent river study opportunity. We also ensure that all of our courses are closely mapped to the requirements of visiting schools and colleges and benefit from our usual high standards of delivery.
New for this year are our AS and A2 Level / Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers studies specifically designed to meet the requirements of the recently released exam board specifications. Our 4 national field study centres offer students and teachers the opportunity to share in our belief that every child should have the freedom to open their minds to their own true potential. Our dedication to this aim is endorsed by our commitment to government initiatives and legislation including ‘Every Child Matters’ and ‘The Education Outside the Classroom Manifesto’. Our stated pledge; to strive to create, above all else, centres of excellence, places where young people from all backgrounds, abilities, races and religions can learn about each other and about the world around them within a fun, safe, open and educational environment.
Kingswoods Field Studies Centres are part of the wider Kingswood Group, operating 10 educational activity centres across the UK and Northern France. The organisation has a wealth of educational adventure experience, belonging to the Education and Adventure Travel Group, welcoming 250,000 children every year on a huge range of European education, language and cultural tours, including school ski tours, children's summer adventure holidays and worldwide school group adventures
