Coastal School Ages 8-14 years old

Coastal School will be a four Day course run over four consecutive weeks. 3 hours each week at the same time, for example Sundays 1-4pm for four weeks. The full cost is £100 for the four week course and you can upgrade to include a surf session during the course for an extra £30.

Coastal School is a child-centred learning process, that offers opportunities for complete growth through regular sessions. It is a long-term program that supports play, exploration and supported risk taking. It develops confidence and self-esteem through learner inspired, hands-on experiences in a completely natural setting.

Coastal School is about exploring and experiencing the natural world through practical activities. The children go out in all weathers, exploring and learning from the four seasons and environment changes. The children’s interest along with the varied natural resources on our beach are used to stimulate creative thinking, problem solving and skill development, all in the guise of play. Most of the activities are child-led but of course some activities are planned by the coastal leader. Sessions cater for a variety of learning styles and give pupils the chance to develop a range of skills.

For anyone choosing to upgrade to the surf lesson, particpants must be able to swim 50m in a pool.

(As we all know the weather can change week in week out so if anything else is needed we will let you know the day before the session but our list should cover all bases).
