Residential Opportunities

Rowan Park

At Rowan Schools, we believe in providing our students with enriching experiences that extend beyond the classroom. Our residentials offer a unique opportunity for students to explore new activities, develop skills, and form lasting memories in a safe and supportive environment. These holiday programs are designed to promote socialisation, independence, and personal growth while offering a fun and engaging experience.

Our residentials are held during the school week. They combine the benefits of a residential stay with a wide range of exciting activities that are tailored to the abilities and interests of our students. From outdoor adventures to creative workshops, our goal is to provide enriching experiences that encourage confidence, independence, and teamwork. Our skills and knowledgeable staff will support pupils during these times and can administer any medications needed. 

 Key Features:

• Tailored Activities: Activities are carefully selected to match student’s abilities, allowing them to fully engage in experiences that challenge and excite them. 
• Promoting Independence: Residentials provide a perfect opportunity for students to practice and enhance their life skills in a more relaxed and fun setting,  help develop essential life skills.
• Building Friendships: These holidays are designed to foster socialisation and create opportunities for students to bond with peers in a relaxed, informal setting. Working on team projects and participating in group activities helps to build strong friendships and improve communication skills.
• Safe and Nurturing Environment: Our staff provide round-the-clock care and supervision, ensuring that students are safe, comfortable, and supported throughout their holiday. 
• Family Peace of Mind: Parents can rest assured that their children are in safe hands, with regular updates and open communication throughout the holiday. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that both students and their families have a positive experience.
