Why Arena?

With nearly 20 years’ experience, Arena has developed a wide range of outdoor activities that are ideal for the 13-18 year age group. These range from the Assault Course through a series of Team based challenges which are taken from our Management Development programme to Quad Biking, Orienteering and Clay Pigeon Shooting. Not only are these fun, but they help to develop initiative, teamwork and leadership skills away from the normal school environment and the pressures of everyday life.

An event at Arena can help to fulfil various requirements of both Key Stages 3 & 4, including Physical Education:

• Acquiring and developing skills
• Selecting and applying skills

• Evaluating and improving performance
• Knowledge and understanding of fitness and health
