Isle of Wight Sea Kayaking

COURSES FOR SCHOOLS

We are a provider of High Quality individualised Outdoor Learning working to standards beyond Government guidelines to meet our aims and objectives. We are licenced by the adventure activities licensing authority (AALA - L6477) to provide paddle sport activities up to an advanced level anywhere in the UK, as well as Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Caving, Gorge Scrambling and Mountaineering for children. If you have a pool or local stretch of water we can bring kayaking and canoeing to you, we can deliver problem solving and team work exercises to your students on the school site - we are also able and experienced in delivering INSET training days to staff to enable them to run high quality student focused outdoor education within your school.

We are highly qualified and experienced educators with a passion for delivery of outdoor education to children. We continue to deliver to, and have an involvement with, every school we have worked with.

		Aims and objectives: • To assist in the facilitation of all young people to have access and entitlement to an outdoor education experience during full time education. • To provide a service that will help individuals to achieve their potential in academic and personal development. • To provide stimulating learning environments, in which young people are secure, valued, learn effectively and co-operate with others. • To support individuals in raising their self-esteem, self-confidence, develop initiative and enterprise and encourage awareness and respect for others. • To teach and support young people to develop knowledge, skills, ideas and understanding through a range of appropriate outdoor education experiences. • To facilitate the active involvement of young people in evaluating their progress through reflection and review. • To provide high quality teaching and learning resources specific to the needs of individuals, groups and schools. • To assist schools in providing a curriculum that is broad, balanced, challenging and meets the needs of schools, young people and the community. • To assist in the continuing development of individuals in the form of school – club links and school – career links via our extensive professional networks. We are a mobile service provider; this gives a huge advantage over statically located providers. We aim to bring our service to the school rather than the school to the service, allowing us to effectively incorporate whole school standards, and correcting the main down fall of many Outdoor Education providers which is the ability to transfer positive work done offsite back into the school environment. Our service is wide ranging and adaptable; aiming to build effective working relationships with schools to facilitate the kind of interaction that makes real differences to the lives of children and the community as a whole. Recent projects include working with an Isle of Wight High School on a project called "threading the needles”; a regular series of kayaking lessons with the goal being to paddle out to the needles and providing a multi-activity residential to South Wales for a School for children with Specific Learning Needs.
