There is a strong outward bound programme running throughout the year both on and off site including camping expeditions. We have used the organization ‘World Challenge Expeditions’ in the past to help facilitate this provision but with the addition of Mr Carver on the Abberley staff who is a founder member of the World Challenge organization, we are now providing all of this in house.
Skiing trips are also offered to the school Chalet near Les Arcs.
The facilities include extensive grass pitches, a full sized Astroturf, two tennis/netball courts, a sports hall and ricochet court, a 25 metre indoor swimming pool, a shooting range, riding stables and ménage, a climbing wall, an archery butt, a number of kayaks, a fishing lake, children’s gardens, and a number of mountain bikes. These are all set amongst the ninety acres of woodland and countryside that form an integral part of life at Abberley Hall.
The standard of expertise and qualifications that we possess on the staff ensures that a high quality of coaching is provided at all levels. We have a former professional rugby player, a Para-Olympic swimming coach, and a highly qualified and experienced kayaking, climbing and abseiling instructor on the staff. We also bring in instructors and coaches for Fencing, Judo, Chess, Riding, Tennis and winter cricket nets. This is as well as the rest of the experienced and enthusiastic staff, most of whom take games.
