"A residential learning experience provides opportunities and benefits/impacts that cannot be achieved in any other educational context or setting."
Learning Away aims to demonstrate the positive impact that high-quality residential learning can have for students and teachers, and engage increasing numbers of primary and secondary schools across the UK in the development of their residential practice.
We are working with schools to develop exemplary practice, collecting and disseminating compelling evidence of positive impact, making the case to school leaders for increasing the amount of high-quality residential learning that takes place, and building and sharing a bank of tools, case studies, and CPD materials.
Our initial five-year action research phase has involved a committed group of 60 primary, secondary and special schools, each developing new and exciting residential programmes. In this video, teachers from these schools explain why these experiences are vital.
