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...

Blown away (again!)
As last year, we were blown away by how amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic ALL the Rootd Team have been. Such a wonderful first residential and night away for lots of the children. Already looking forward to seeing you all next year!

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.

A real adventure
What a fabulous outdoor adventure trip run by a passionate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic team at Rootd. A real adventure in a forest setting getting in touch with nature. Delicious food, caring advice and guidance, exciting activities and excellent behaviour management. We can't wait to come back!

Year 5 trips

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 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.

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.
