Some of the Benefits of #Winter Residential identified by Learning Away:
Greater return on investment - Winter residentials can be more affordable giving schools the benefit of a greater return on investment
Embed learning back in school - Going on winter residentials allows time for learning and development to be embedded back in school. We know residentials have a long-term impact on students' progress and attainment when followed up on their return to school
77% of pupils said the way they were taught on the residential will help them do better in the subject in question
Increase engagement with learning - Residentials improve students' engagement with learning, including positive changes in behaviour and attendance. Going on a winter residential will give them a passion for learning which can live on throughout the year
Boost resilience and wellbeing - Residentials improve students' resilience, self-confidence and wellbeing. Students are more willing to try something new and ask for help, push themselves and participate in class. Imagine teaching a class with more self-belief for the rest of the school year after going on a winter residential
Exhilarating winter weather - We can't guarantee the weather in the UK at any time of year. Bad weather is no bad thing on a residential. Wind, rain and snow are exciting if handled in the correct way. Wild weather builds character. There is a greater sense of achievement and more positive relationships developed between staff and students when battling the weather together
