Adventures of a Lifetime

At Oakworth Primary School, we believe in the power of outdoor learning to inspire, challenge and develop our pupils beyond the classroom. Through a wide range of hands-on outdoor experiences, we help children build confidence, resilience and a deep connection to the world around them.

From exploring nature to tackling high ropes, our outdoor curriculum supports personal growth and teamwork at every stage.

Year 5 Herd Farm Residential

In Year 5, children take part in an exciting residential visit to Herd Farm. Set in the heart of the Yorkshire countryside, this trip offers a brilliant introduction to outdoor adventure and independence. Pupils enjoy activities such as:

• Giant Swing

• Zip lining

• Team challenges

• High ropes

This memorable experience helps children build trust, determination, and lifelong friendships.

Year 6 Newby Wiske Residential

Our Year 6 pupils enjoy a more advanced residential at Newby Wiske Hall, where they push their limits and celebrate the end of primary school with new challenges. Activities include:

• Rock climbing & abseiling

• Water sports

• Problem-solving games

• Zip line adventures

This final residential is a highlight of their time at Oakworth, preparing them for the transition to secondary school with pride and confidence.
