Robinwood Activity Centre

Both Senior and Prep Schools offer excellent ranges of extra-curricular activities to broaden the children's experience whilst having fun! A fantastic school, both of my girls can't wait to get to school on a morning!

Suitable and available to children in years 5 and 6, Robinwood Activity Centre provides a safe introduction to a variety of adventurous activities. These include archery, canoeing, climbing and abseiling, assault course, zip wire, team challenges and problem solving. Their own “home-made” activities include the piranha pool, the night line and low ropes course.

The weekend is non stop. It is geared to pupils of all abilities and provides a memorable experience for everyone who takes part. Prep School staff accompany the children and take part in the activities although the actual supervision is undertaken by well qualified “group leaders.”


The children return exhausted but elated, often having surprised themselves at what they have achieved and the fears they have overcome.
