Outdoor Education is provided as an option to year 10 and 11 students who may choose the Outdoor Education option in Physical Education. Each term a schedule is created from the following activities.
• Climbing (Outdoor rock & Indoor wall climbing)¹
• Abseiling
• Low & High ropes courses
• Hill walking & Scrambling on Quantock and Mendip
• Orienteering
• Mendip Caving
• Dry slope skiing
¹Students participate in the NICAS (National Indoor Climbing Assessment Scheme) offered through the British Mountaineering Council. The Bristol Climbing Centre is a validated venue and the teacher in charge conducts assessment at each level.
The aim of the Outdoor Pursuits course is to provide qualifications and experience essential for students who wish to progress into college, university or work place furthering a career in Outdoor Pursuits or Education.
Alternatively, the activities may be continued purely for recreational and social purposes and the skills and experience allow the students to continue in the FE College Climbing Club.
