Adventures of a Lifetime

At Oldfield Primary, we believe in giving children the chance to step outside their comfort zones, challenge themselves, and experience the thrill of the great outdoors. Our Outward Bound adventure trips are a highlight of school life—an unforgettable opportunity for pupils to grow in confidence, independence, and resilience.

These trips take our children into natural environments where they take part in a wide range of adventurous activities. Pupils scale rock faces through rock climbing, experience the rush of abseiling down cliffs, and trek through rugged landscapes on challenging hikes. They discover the power of teamwork and determination as they take on gorge walking, navigating through rivers and waterfalls, and develop essential survival skills by building fires and shelters in the wild.

More than just physical challenges, these adventures promote personal growth, encourage problem-solving, and help children learn to support one another. Surrounded by nature, away from screens and routines, they find new strengths in themselves—and often leave with memories that last a lifetime.

Our Outward Bound trips are not just about adventure—they're about discovering what’s possible when you dare to try.
