Our External Leadership Team (EL) supports learners in an outdoor environment beyond the classroom walls. Taking advantage of Bryn Tirion Hall’s location in North Wales and utilising the stunning natural environment surrounding the school, we aspire to teach independence, risk management and social skills while learning in controlled and challenging situations.

EL activities include water skills, drowning prevention, bush craft, climbing, independent travel and First Aid Training Level 1 for pupils and First Aid at Work (FAW) for staff.

The team also supports the Paddle Power Award for young people, which helps learners to develop their skills on waterborne craft. The team has trained all staff in the RLSS UK National Water Safety Management Programme (NWSMP) and it also delivers the Water Skills Academy course, making it the first organisation to achieve this in the UK to achieve this accreditation.

As the only school members of the Association of Heads of Outdoor Education Centres, we deliver to a high standard that is adventure industry recognised.
