What will students see and do?

A great coastal location in Norfolk’s Area of Outstanding National Beauty, this Kingswood centre promises a picturesque seaside adventure.

Situated approximately 50 minutes north of Norwich, in Cromer, West Runton boasts some unique attractions including an extensive bushcraft setting, caving opportunities with WWII bunker to look out for, and a superb coastal location, perfect for beach adventure and rock pooling.

There are some adrenaline-packed activities here too, with climbing, high ropes, Jacob’s Ladder, Leap of Faith and a 100-metre zip line.



Teaching resources provided

Kingswood, in partnership with Enrich Education, provide visitors with pre- and post-trip activity packs.  

Packs includes a selection of activities that support PE, English, maths, science and geography curricula, taken from the Enrich School Orienteering and Outdoor Learning Digital Hub, which is home to over 200 cross-curricular physical activity plans. Each activity links with one of the six Kingswood curriculum categories (Challenge, Play, Explore, Discover, Social, Reflect). All activities include a teacher’s plan and children’s resource sheets where required.  

The packs enable schools to create opportunities to introduce outdoor adventurous activities to children, developing their initial orienteering skills and helping to foster a love for outdoor learning.  

In addition to the activity packs, Kingswood offers schools a unique ‘confidence tracker’ tool, created in partnership with insight specialists Spike and with counsel from Dr Alice Jones Bartoli and Professor Justin Dillon, to enable them to evidence and evaluate the success of a trip. This is a fantastic take-home to share with parents or carers after a trip and can also form a wider project on character education or development.


Minimum and maximum group size

The maximum number of students per activity is 15.

Kingswood can usually accommodate smaller groups with complex SEN requirements on request.
