Calvert Exmoor

School residential trips are undoubtedly special occasions. At Calvert Exmoor, we understand the complexities involved and the pressure to ensure that every detail is perfect while keeping students safe and engaged. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing support in every way possible.

We offer accessible accommodation for up to 60 people, complete with meals and a variety of adventure activities, making us an ideal choice for start or end-of-year treats. We aim to create a venue where pupils and teachers can unwind and enjoy themselves while learning.

However, we don’t stop at the basics. We assist with educational journeys that align with your school’s syllabus and the National Curriculum. Think of us as a pre-planned, off-road trail into outdoor adventure, tailored to support your learning goals.

If you need additional teaching tools aligned with the National Curriculum, we’re here to help.
This includes:
-Awareness: Attend our group leader ‘intro’ weekends to familiarise yourself with our centre before making a decision
-Planning: Collaborate with us to design a residential programme that targets specific learning objectives
Integration: Explore everyday concepts through exciting outdoor adventures, seamlessly blending learning with fun
-Reflection and assessment: Incorporate structured reflection sessions before, during, and after the residential to help students recognise their achievements. Teachers can also assess progress towards curriculum objectives through observation and discussions
-Resources and support: We provide all necessary forms and parental paperwork, and you’ll have access to our on-site facilities, staff, and equipment for a fulfilling and comfortable stay

As proud members of the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom, we recognise the significance of student activities in achieving both individual and national educational targets. At Calvert Exmoor, we integrate much of the National Curriculum into the experiences of schools during their stay, whether intentionally or inadvertently, through the guidance of our staff and interactions with other residential guests. We collaborate closely with you to ensure alignment with your objectives and desired learning outcomes.

Regardless of the curriculum you follow, we acknowledge that its aims likely parallel those of the National Curriculum of England. As such, we are committed to providing the resources necessary for your students to engage with this learning, fostering their spiritual, moral, cultural, mental, and physical development along the journey.

Our Calvert Curriculum offers a detailed overview of how Calvert Exmoor provides, enables and promotes the National Curriculum during your visit.

At Calvert Exmoor, “it’s what you can do that counts.”

We ensure that every individual, regardless of any special educational needs or physical disabilities, has the opportunity to shine. Our structured program of activities, led by qualified instructors with specially designed equipment, is tailored to accommodate a wide range of abilities. We prioritise continuity by assigning the same instructor to each activity group throughout their adventures, fostering familiarity and connection. Plus, all activities take place on-site, with the furthest being a five-minute stroll/roll to the Reservoir!
