Through extensive action research, Learning Away has gathered profound evidence that shows that school residentials have a transformative impact on everyone involved.

We believe the transformation is greater the sooner a residential takes place in the school year. Yet residentials in schools are more likely to take place in the summer term, just as the teacher is saying goodbye to their class.

The campaign pack contained on this page is designed to help you share with schools the benefits of providing winter residentials. Wherever you are, whoever you are, use the tools on this page to encourage schools to plan more residentials in the winter months.
