As part of the additional themes supporting PSE, off-site activities in the form of activity days and residential visits have a powerful contribution to make to support pupils’ personal and social education. . Living and working at challenges with other pupils and adults promotes the development of tolerance, appreciation and respect for others and the ability to give and accept support, promotes social awareness and fosters the development of attitudes and values.

	Outdoor play and activity is a healthy past-time often missed out on by young people today. It can encourage imagination, increase attention and put children back in touch with their bodies. This can give a new sense of purpose, and increase self-esteem.
	Spending time outdoors fosters an appreciation of the natural world as a source of inspiration, and provides opportunities to address environmental issues directly, through programmes or through experience.
	With ever increasing concerns for safety, an environment such as this, offering both freedom and containment can be an attractive option.

Children have been coming to stay at Ringsfield Hall for over 30 years, and it has been an experience many have never forgotten. They often come from inner city areas which though lively, vibrant, full of variety and activity, are also noisy, fast, disconnected from the natural world, and demanding. Many have not set foot in a field before or seen a star-filled night sky...'We don't have stars in Kilburn' said one.

The Ringsfield Experience, as well as offering a wide range of programmes and activities to support their curriculum learning, includes presenting them with opportunities for free outdoor play in enchanting surroundings; away from shops, TV, traffic and computers - slowing down the pace and removing for a time the demands of everyday life. Here there are trees, secret places, games areas and mud!

We have a number of animals they can join in caring for; Royston the horse and his companions, five goats, sheep, and an ever-changing population of rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, hens, and peacocks.
There is a rich variety of habitats and wildlife, to facilitate environmental study and team-building games. The idyllic setting encourages imagination, creativity, and the appreciation of space and movement.

Meal times with home cooked food, using as much local produce as possible, are an opportunity to spend time developing social skills. The fine surroundings which are warm, well-decorated and stylish are designed to tell children that they deserve the best, and to nurture the spirit.

We would like to see every child valued and nurtured, protected and cherished - physically, intellectually, emotionally and physically - and have an awareness of the spiritual, that is able to turn inwards to solitude and reflection, compassion and contemplation and outward to community and celebration .To this end we provide a series of activities and programmes .
