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.
Truly a time to remember!
Our Year 6 children had a great experience. The venue was safe and the Rootd team went above and beyond to make the residential trip fun and informative. This was truly a time to remember!
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.
There’s something for everyone!
I would highly recommend a Rootd Residential trip to any school looking to bring their pupils. It met the needs of every one of our pupils and there was something for everyone!
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!

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.
