Our School Trip Reviews
Children, teachers, schools and parents love our trips
What primary and secondary schools say about our residential trips
If we had an acorn for every time were were told how amazing our residential trips were or how the children said the leaders were amazing, our woodland would be double the size!
Schools are continually impressed by the quality of our residential trips and the dedication of our Rootd team to deliver the best trip they can for students. Over 90% of schools choose to return to Rootd year after year, confident that every trip will be a success. Here's just some of our recent testimonials...

Highly recommend Rootd for any outdoor adventure!
We recently brought a group of Year 5 children to Rootd for a camping and back to nature experience, and it was exceptional. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also knew exactly how to engage with the children. Their ability to connect and create a fun, educational environment made the experience unforgettable for everyone. Highly recommend Rootd for any outdoor adventure!

A fabulous experience that the children will never forget
A fabulous experience that our Year 6 children will never forget. Bell-tents are fantastic, underground tunnels are always a highlight and the high ropes gave the high challenge to the children. Fantastic staff that build a fab rapport with our children (and staff). A mixture of adventurous and environmental activities that really do cater for all. A fabulous experience that the children will never forget!

A wonderful opportunity for less academic children to excel

A great Year 4 Trip
The children had an amazing time - they have grown in confidence and independence. Our staff also love Rootd and the team who are remarkable. They love their job , they have high energy, they get to know the children in record time. It is really hard to pick just one member as they work so impeccably as a team.

Blown away by your amazing team!
The most wonderful first residential for our Year 3 children. You will not find a more enthusiastic, knowledgeable, kind and fun group of leaders anywhere. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, were so well looked after and every activity was well organised and perfect for our children.

Best instructors ever!
The opportunity for our children to have experiences they wouldn't normally have. Every member of the team have been amazing and gone above and beyond for both our children and staff. Our Headteacher commented that Rootd were the best instructors she had ever had on a residential trip.
