Our maximum group size is 150. Activity ratios do change depending on the activity, but mostly we work in group sizes of 8 people per instructor.
For Field Studies the staff ratio depends on the age of the group and also how many staff the group bring.
We have three classrooms and a lovely outside teaching space.
First aid is so important, that's why every member of staff here is First Aid trained.
Unfortunately we don't currently have specific equipment for disabled groups. However some of our activities may be suitable for disabled groups depending on their specific needs. For more information please get in touch. We are used to working with diverse groups in terms of abilities and needs and will always try to create a programme that can work for all of your group.
