Pupil Premium Aberdovey Residential

As you are aware Stratton is part of Meridian Trust who organise an annual  Outward Bound Course to Abderdovey in Wales. 

The Outward Bound Trust was founded in 1941 and they are the original provider of outdoor education, with an unrivalled safety record. Their mission is to inspire young people to believe they can achieve more than they ever thought possible.

The Outward Bound Trust is an educational charity that uses the outdoors to provide life-changing educational courses and unique experiences for young people​

This adventure will consist of students from across 14 Meridian Trust secondary schools including 2 special schools.  There will be 132 students in total with not only well qualified and experienced staff from schools, but also the extremely well qualified staff from the Aberdovey Outward Bound Centre.  ​

​The trip will be fully inclusive of food, accommodation, bed-linen, outdoor kit, safety equipment and insurance.  They will be taken care of at all stages of this wonderful adventure.  ​

We at Stratton School believe that young people should experience ‘learning outside the classroom’. The results of taking our students into a different environment and encouraging them to work better as a team, build self-confidence and take personal responsibility are outstanding. The difference back in the classroom, and at home, is often remarkable. ​

We really do hope that you will agree to take part in this free and exciting trip and some of the best ways to find out about the types of activities your son/daughter will be taking part in, is to click onto the hyperlink below ​and read the information on the infographics.
