Residential trips are a memorable and enriching aspect of our school experience. At Hempland, we encourage all of our children to take up the valuable opportunity of a residential trip in Year 5 and in Year 6.
In Year 5, our pupils visit YHA Boggle Hole, Whitby.
Children will have the opportunity to participate in a range of activities, delivered by experienced, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Activities make the most of everything the Jurassic Coast has to offer – rock-pools, marine biology, woodland and fascinating historical sites.
This residential offers Year 5 pupils valuable opportunities for personal development. Through activities such as fossil hunting, making woodland creatures, and creating sand art, children can build curiosity, creativity, and a deeper respect and appreciation for the natural world. The experience also fosters independence, teamwork, and resilience as pupils spend time away from home, try new activities, and collaborate with their peers in a supportive, hands-on environment.

In Year 6, our pupils visit Robinwood, Dobroyd Castle, West Yorkshire.
Children will have the opportunity to participate in 15 activities as part of a balanced programme. These include adventure activities, themed problem solving sessions, watersports, activities that will challenge, develop teamwork, stimulate the imagination and present fantastic learning opportunities in a way that goes beyond what can be offered in a classroom environment.
A residential to Robinwood offers Year 6 pupils the chance to develop characteristics such as ambition, courage, resilience, and self-confidence. Activities such as the zipwire, rock climbing, archery, and the giant swing challenge pupils to step outside their comfort zones, set personal goals, and support one another. The experience also promotes teamwork, communication, and trust, helping pupils build strong relationships and a sense of achievement through shared success.

We hope that these residential trips have a positive impact on our pupil’s wider development and academic outcomes, as well as creating memories that can be cherished for a lifetime!
