1 SCHOOL RESIDENTIAL TRIPS Minehead & Skegness IN PARTNERSHIP WITH...

2 Welcome to Butlin s We have been delighting families since 1936 and now we can do the same for school groups. Billy Butlin felt passionate about providing out of the classroom experiences by the seaside for school children and introduced school trips to Butlin s back in the 1970s. We ve come a long way since then and our resorts have too. Investing over 175 million, we can offer school groups an exciting mix of curriculum based activities, an experienced team, modern accommodation and exceptional food all in stunning locations. To help us to do this we ve partnered with education specialists, Adventure Central, who have many years experience in delivering educational programmes suitable for 7-13 year olds, all tailored to suit your learning objectives but in a fun and unique Butlin s way. We re proud to have been awarded Our partner Adventure Central is fully compliant with all health and safety regulations and resorts either hold or are pending assessment of quality badges for Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC), Adventuremark and BAPA. We took our Year 6 class to Skegness and it was simply excellent. The motivating physical activities, varied programme of events and amazing staff really helped encourage relationship building amongst our pupils. Feedback from parents was that it was great value for money and we have already booked again. Head Teacher Zoe Hyam Caistor CE and Methodist Primary School, Lincolnshire.
