VerticalAir Education & Youth Groups

As well as our work with the corporate sector we also have a lot of experience of working with younger participants from schools and youth groups.

We believe that well run outdoor activities delivered by experienced and well qualified staff can help young people learn skills for life, explore issues of working together, accountability and fit seamlessly into the national curriculum.

Here are some quotes from teachers and leaders that we have worked with recently.

Why not contact us to discuss your needs & see what we can offer for your group?

What schools are saying about VerticalAir

"Annual visits to the Vertical Air ropes course in Kendal have become the high light of our induction programme. Students begin to work together and challenge themselves in a safe and supportive atmosphere facilitated by the enthusiastic Vertical Air Team. The experience is never forgotten, often referred to and helps to bond new groups. Both FE and HE students benefit from these experiences. HE students are challenged by structured learning experiences linked to their curriculum. Using Vertical Air enables us to achieve learning and organisational objectives whilst having a fun day for all. Try it!"

Tina Gale - Divisional Manager. Centre for Travel and Tourism Studies. Craven College.

"We visited Wastwater YHA with forty musicians. All our Verticalair instructors were well informed, friendly and great fun! They really got to know our students, they were sensitive to their abilities and made our visit incredibly memorable. As a result all of our students achieved far more than they could have imagined. And they can't wait to come again next year!"

Anna Heaney - Head of Music Mill Hill County High School

“As a member of staff accompanying a group of students I always felt totally secure that the instructors knew exactly what they were doing and were totally in control. The experience and personality of the instructors is inspiring in its own right”

Jo Paxton – Head of Year 10 Harry Carlton School

“Having lead many camps involving over 1000 students I can whole heartedly recommend using the VerticalAir Team. They are competent, enthusiastic and experienced without exception and have made a lasting and significant contribution to the students of Harry Carlton School”

John Flint – Post 16 Learning Manager

“VerticalAir instructors are fun, friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. They are sensitive to individual needs, and encourage children appropriately to explore their capabilities.”

"We have use VerticalAir for many years now and we keep coming back, the quality, professionalism and friendliness of the instructors is without question."

Ian Howe - Ecclesfield School

"Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon on Monday. The children were full of it when they came into school on Tuesday. The really great part about working on such challenges is you see children make progress in front of your eyes. One moment they are reluctant and apprehensive, the next they are full of courage and game for anything."

Tim Coleman - Headteacher Tebay Community Primary School

"Please thank Gareth and Piers for an extremely enjoyable day. The boys got a lot out of it and are still full of it today. The tuition was spot on and the activities brilliant. Thanks again and look forward to organising another trip next year."

Emma Geddis - Cheadle Hulme High School

"Many thanks for providing Joe, Pete and Stu.  They were terrific and the boys much appreciated their help, instruction and sense of humour."

"We were very happy with our walk in the mountains on Sunday and found the instructors to be of excellent quality working well with us to cope with the diversity of abilities and paces within the group. Please pass on our thanks and appreciation.  Thanks once again for your help facilitating our activities in Cumbria."
