Kickstarting Year 6 with an autumn residential to Heatree Activity Centre on Dartmoor sets the perfect foundation for a transformative final year of primary school. Nestled within the breathtaking, rugged landscape of Dartmoor National Park, Heatree offers an inspiring environment where pupils can bond, grow in confidence, and build essential teamwork skills right at the start of the term. Guided by an experienced, dedicated outdoor education team, children dive into thrilling bespoke adventures—ranging from stream scrambling and rock climbing to bushcraft and team challenges—all designed to foster resilience and self-belief. After active, full-filled days out in the fresh air, pupils recharge with fresh, wholesome meals prepared on-site using local Devon ingredients and settle into safe, comfortable surroundings. This unforgettable stay creates shared memories and trust that will elevate their collaborative learning back in the classroom all year long.

At Heatree Activity Centre, comfortable, purpose-built accommodations and well-balanced catering ensure pupils feel entirely at home throughout their stay. The venue features separate private accommodation wings equipped with practical, dormitory-style bedrooms with bunk beds, alongside dedicated lounge areas, drying rooms for soggy outdoor gear, and quiet breakout spaces. Meal times serve as a crucial highlight of the day: Heatree’s on-site catering team works with local Devon suppliers to prepare hot, wholesome, and fresh dishes cooked right at the centre. Served in spacious private dining rooms with drinks like squash, tea, and hot chocolate readily available, the meals are tailored to fuel active outdoor days while accommodating all dietary requirements and allergies seamlessly.
