Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books
Why Learn Outdoors?… The outdoor environment offers space and therefore is particularly important to those who learn best through active movement.
Playing and learning outside also helps us to understand and respect nature, the environment and the interdependence of humans, animals, plants, and lifecycles.
Being outside and around nature has been proven to have significant health benefits, it offers a dynamic environment that fosters creativity, promotes physical activity, and enhances hands-on learning experiences.
Residentials & Activity Days
Our residential and activity days are suitable for all Primary school ages and KS3. Children can excel in a safe and fun environment while learning lifelong skills such as team building, problem solving & improved physical health.
Deputy Head Teacher @ Gosforth Park First School
"My girls aged 3 and 8yrs old had a gorgeous time at the Wonderful Woodland Christmas, the Elf hunt was lots of fun crunching through the snow! Making little wooden bauble crafts was lovely too, and the girl’s favourite bit was the hot chocolate and marshmallows and of course meeting Santa."

"My two sons have absolutely loved being part of the summer camp this week. They've done so much! They came home full of stories about their wild adventures. Definitely recommend and they would both 100 percent love to go back"
Happy Parent - Holiday Club
"The children at my school had a fantastic 24-hour residential with Mr H. They were busy the whole time doing brilliant activities, working individually and in teams. The food and camping was great. The children went home in the morning very tired but very happy! A great success! I’m sure we’ll doing it again!"
Deputy Head Teacher @ Branton Primary School
"I would definitely recommend Mr H holiday club. My daughter (age 6) had the best day, asking to go back immediately! She enjoyed all of the activities, lots crammed into one day, great value for money too!"

Mr H provides exciting and engaging experiences which all of our children love and will remember from their time at Gosforth Park First School.
