The Government released its latest education manifesto entitled Learning Outside the Classroom in late spring 2006. Active Hope's work falls within this ethos of education and fully supports the aims of the DFES on this issue. If you would like to read more on the learning outside the classroom manifesto you can access it through our useful links button.
Through the school year 2011 / 2012 we are proud to offer Primary Schools across Warrington access to our "Which Way Now" project. It uses Orienteering and team building activities to give children in KS2 some great fun and valuable new skills.
