Cliffe House Outdoor Study and Conference Centre


Description

Cliffe House is a forma Victorian Manor House set in 11 acres of mature woodland. We offer adventurous activities both on and off-site and hold the LOtC Quality Badge and operate under an AALA Licence.

Around 6,000 children from all over Kirklees arrive at Cliffe House each year to experience a residential stay varying in length from one to four nights or an educational day visit with our outdoor learning team. They leave having learned a lot about the environment - and themselves - with memories that last a lifetime.

We believe every young person should experience the world beyond the classroom as part of a broad and balanced curriculum.

Here at Cliffe House we provide a blend of both educational and adventure focussed activities, delivered by experienced and qualified staff.

Onsite activities: Archery, Bushcraft, Climbing Wall, Crate Stacking, Monkey Tree Climb, Teambuilding, Orienteering, Pond Studies, Woodland Studies, Picture Trails, Walking, Mine,

Offsite activities: Climbing, Abseiling, Caving, Canoeing, Stand up Paddleboard, Raft Building, Walking, Kayaking

Our programmes can support KS1, KS2 Curriculum and beyond with focus on geography, history and sciences.

Duke of Edinburgh elements can also be supported as we hold the DofE Approved Activity Provider (AAP) along with Paddle UK (British Canoeing) accreditation, National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) and National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme (NICAS).

Immersing young people in an active and engaging environment encourages them to learn whilst having fun together. Our inclusive ethos ensures young people feel confident to push their own boundaries; increasing personal development with an improved awareness of self, of others, and the natural world around them.

Excellent cross-curricular opportunities. All the staff are most welcoming and very supportive; a wonderful experience had by all. (May 2022 - Primary School)




The facilities at Cliffe House are fantastic; pond dipping, adventure playground, extensive woodland area, bushcraft, archery, climbing...

Super residential with brilliant staff and activities. Only tiny criticism would be the food! There needs to be more of it and a better selection especially for the adults. (June 2019 - Primary School)




The children were given an extremely enjoyable experience with lots of knowledge and skills gained. The trip ran smoothly with no issues. All children were safe and well looked after. The leaders were knowledgeable and supported children in overcoming challenges. (May 2019 - Primary School)




Excellent. (September 2018 - Secondary School)
