Outdoor Education: Empowering Children with SEND
Peak’s Development Programme offers children with SEND a barrier-free, outdoor learning experience that builds confidence and engagement.
Outdoor Learning Just Got More Accessible
Outdoor learning enhances confidence, friendships, and well-being but is often hard to access due to rising costs. At Peak, we've lowered our residential trip prices for Autumn 2025/2026, making outdoor experiences more affordable. We can customise trips from one to four nights, helping students connect outdoors and away from screens. Additionally, our SEND Alternative Provision, supporting students with social, emotional, and behavioural challenges, is expanding with new mobile units across the North East, Lincolnshire, and West Sussex, bringing tailored outdoor education directly to schools.
Get out into the great outdoors with Peak!
