THANK YOU for

showing an interest in

this Residential trip

and all it has to offer.

The French adventure week would provide the children with a unique experience, one which they would not normally experience in Blackpool.

The children would have a fantastic and significant opportunity to develop individually and socially in varying team and individual activities

Through the residential week we would expect all children to come away with new adventure skills, language skills improved social and interactive skills.
