Which curriculum topics do we cater for?

green tick Religious Education School Trip


Christianity

Click to read full text Menadue is a Christian Residential Centre, meaning that our trustees and staff team are Christians. We are keen to share the faith we hold with our guests through our actions, our care for them.
Our beliefs and experience mean that, on request, we can provide talks based on Christianity. We can aid fulfilment of the religious education aspect of the national curriculum and would cover the following:
- Explain Bible stories and aid understanding concerning the impact they have on our lives as Christians.
- Share symbols and actions of the Christian faith to aid understanding of these, such as saying grace at meal times.
- Explain what it means to be a Christian, how this impacts our lives and what the church community is like.
- Explain through Bible stories, some challenges of being in a faith community but why it is of such value.
- Facilitate discussions and expressions on what it means to have purpose and belong.
- Consider values such as respect, love, truth, purpose, justice, fairness, helping others, right and wrong.
The format for sharing our faith, other than through our actions, is through grace said at meal times and a talks available from the Centre Manager.

green tick Wildlife School Trip


Menadue has the privilege of being in an area of beautiful surroundings, within stunning natural landscape. We are in walking distance of the local coastline and beach, known for it's rugged wild rock, with a wide variety of birds living creating habitats on the cliffs. There is also a vast amount of farmland to educate pupils on the balance made between caring for smaller creatures and developing healthy agricultural practices. We are only a short drive away from more expansive beaches for marine life observations and the Bodmin Moore for extended environmental studies.

green tick Physical Education School Trip


Canoeing Archery Kayaking

On a residential physical education can encompass activities beyond what is available within typical school provision and that physical activity can include more adventurous activities that can be done in small groups or even solo. We hope that physical activities chosen whilst staying at Menadue help equip pupils to stay healthy physically and mentally, throughout their life.

green tick PSHE School Trip


Right and Wrong Mental health and awareness Teamwork and resilience

Click to read full text Being part of a residential trip, we find that children get a vast range of experiences from sharing extended time with peers, to trying new activities in varying environments. We see this variety teaches and develops children in a way no other environment does. From the physical well being of a pupil to their mental capacity, our activity week creates space for learning across all these things.
Additionally, staying residentially somewhere with their peers is a great opportunity for pupils to grow in self awareness, as well as in awareness of others. Due to the nature of the week the value of eating well in order to sustain different activity levels is also highlighted. The children are also encouraged to make their own lunch in the morning and tidying up at mealtimes which we believe is beneficial in teaching life skills such as taking responsibility.

green tick Watersports School Trip


Kayaking Canoeing Power Boating

We partner with local water sport providers to offer a variety of sea based adventures to our school groups. Our relationships with these companies are built from using their services regularly and doing research across the many beaches and offerings. With a short drive you can be off surfing and coasteering or power boating and canoeing. Taking part in these activities will build confidence, resilience, inspire new skills and raise water awareness.

green tick Local History School Trip


Immerse yourself in history, myth and stunning scenery at Tintagel Castle on Cornwall's rugged north coast.
Inextricably linked with the legend of King Arthur, for centuries this dramatic castle and coastline has fired the imaginations of writers, artists, and even the brother of a king. Now it's your turn to be inspired.
- Journey across the spectacular award-winning footbridge
- Meet Gallos, the larger-than-life bronze sculpture of an ancient king
- Explore Merlin’s Cave and paddle in rock pools on the beach
- Take in dramatic coastal views and look out for wildlife on the clifftops

We have a large barn, which is where meals and indoor games can be enjoyed. This is suitable for up to 50 people.

On-site classroom facilities?
