Welcome to i-Challenge
Through the ‘i-challenge’ curriculum, we provide access to a wide range of opportunities that promote pupils’ emotional, physical, and intellectual development. Activities provide pupils with opportunities to develop the ‘building blocks’ of successful life skills, such as teamwork, resilience, responsibility, and friendship. Through ‘i-challenge’, we focus on how children learn, underpinned by building relationships, teamwork, and confidence-building.
The adventure begins here…
The benefit of working creatively, participating in sport, and building a strong community and citizenship not only develops an individual’s character and resilience but also lays the foundations for positive self-esteem and confidence in the future.

Physical Development
As the outdoor classroom is typically larger than many indoor classrooms, it offers increased opportunities for physical development. Numerous activities incorporate movement elements, requiring participants to make full use of the available space. Specific activities like exploring, tree climbing, constructing dens from natural materials, and collecting items demand significantly more physical exertion compared to indoor activities.
