The Learning Away school partnerships discovered a huge amount about devising, delivering and evaluating residentials of all kinds.
Some of the material they generated is now available in this library of resources and includes activity ideas, links to case studies and downloadable templates to help you plan and deliver brilliant family residentials at your school.
