Our brief
To provide the group with an activity based programme that would involve all the students and stimulate their team building spirit. To give them an opportunity to get to know each other more and build new friendships by participating in team activities. Juniper Hill Primary School were travelling with 2 disabled students and so needed an inclusive trip for all members of the group.

Our approach to programme design
The main focus of the programme design was to come up with fun activities appropriate for this age group that would be inclusive, so all students, including those with physical disabilities were able to participate in.

"We have enjoyed our stay at Grittleton House School immensely with all our students and teachers. Our students were very enthusiastic about their lessons taught at Grittleton and their English has improved tremendously. Our students enjoyed the Roman Bath house, the Holburne museum and the Bath Abbey. Also Lacock and Castle Combe cannot be missed if you stay at Grittleton House School. The food was great, breakfast, packed lunches and dinner were delicious and we couldn’t want anything else."
