Suitable for: EYFS, KS1 and KS2 – Variations available for KS3 upwards
Duration: Session can run from 30 mins to full day sessions
Structure / Numbers: Each class will take part in their team building session. It is possible for one instructor to work with all classes from Reception – Year 6 in a day.
Our Instructor Led Team Building Days allow each class to take part in the same activity at the same time. This is done in smaller sub groups. This is possible as we bring multiple equipment of each activity to your school.
The mix of activities on offer all encourage and and clarify the importance of individual and team work skills.
Our sessions normally last for approx 35 mins for Reception and Year 1 and 40-50 mins for the other year groups. We can however offer longer sessions lasting a full day depending on the different aims and objectives of the school.
As we visit many schools each year we provide unique activities for each group eliminating any repetition when we return the next year.

Team work makes the dream work! Our boarders put that to the test at the weekend when @problemsolveit turned up with many problem solving challenges for them to solve. They had great fun working together & learnt lots about the value of teamwork. #AHPrepBoarding #iloveboarding pic.twitter.com/BmQ8zZ1iho

Suitable for: KS2 – Variations available for KS3 upwards
Duration: 2 hours too full day
Structure / Numbers: This day has been designed for large numbers. We ask that a member of school staff is available for each group of 10 pupils.
This Primary School version of our Challenge Carousel has been adapted from our incredibly popular Secondary School version. It offers a collection of approx 24 team building and problem solving activities which encourage the participating students to plan, communicate, work together whilst staying motivated to finish the tasks. It’s a great way for schools to run large Team Building Days and keep the cost down. We find that this is very popular choice for Year 6/7 transition days.
Instructors come to the school and setup and oversee a large carousel of approx 24 activities. The students work in groups of approx 7-10, and visit different activity locations with a teacher / TA or parent. It will be their job to help score the students.
Each activity station has clear written instructions for the students and any guidance notes for the staff.
Split days with different groups of students in the day does NOT incur an extra charge.
A great advantage of this type of day is to that it keeps the cost down per head

Suitable for: KS2 – Variations available for KS3 upwards
Structure / Numbers: A typical day runs 4 workshops with 30 pupils in each.
With our School Escape sessions being so popular and versatile we could not resist the opportunity to create a pure Team Building Version.
The Heist gives your pupils the opportunity to test the security systems of a high tech bank. Can your pupils reach the vault?
The box’s are setup with between 6 -13 activities depending on the age group. When completed students will access a key that will open the timer box. They can then turn this off to register their time.
Every activity provides the team with a 3 – 5 digit code or letter code that will open a relevant padlock.
The Heist, along with our other escape rooms has received excellent feedback and allows pupils to be challenged in a completely new way.
We also have a fully Mobile Escape Room Vehicle for that truly immersive experience
