ABOUT OUR
SCHOOLS PROGRAMME
How much is the TrailFam Schools Programme?
Affordability is crucial for schools, we understand that. Our TrailFam Schools Programme offers an entire half term of weekly sessions at just £150 per session. That’s not all. Schools booking a half term of sessions with TrailFam will receive their first session totally free of charge!
Who is the Schools Programme designed for?
Our Schools Programme is highly versatile and tailored to work seamlessly with a range of student groups. Here’s how we’ve successfully delivered impactful sessions:
Key Satge Enrichment: Engaging students with meaningful outdoor experiences that inspire and educate. We deliver programmes tailored to every stage of education. From KS1 to KS4.
PE Supplementation: Enhancing physical education with dynamic, trail-based activities.
Targeted Interventions: Supporting vulnerable and hard-to-reach students through tailored, inclusive sessions.
SEND Support: Providing safe, accessible, and enriching opportunities for students with special educational needs and disabilities.
Student Athlete Development: Helping young athletes build resilience, strength, and focus to excel in their sport and beyond.
No matter the group, our programme is designed to create positive outcomes for both students and schools.
How many students can join per session?
Up to 30 students. Each session will will be led by 1 dedicated TrailFam coach. We ask that the school provides 1 additional member of staff to support students. Don’t worry, they don’t have to be a runner.
Where are the sessions and how long do they last?
Our sessions are always located in beautiful natural spaces and within 45 minutes of any school. Our coaches will ensure that locations are thoroughly risk assessed and chosen for ease of access, safety and convenience.
If your school can’t travel by minibus, let us know. We will do everything we can to make the sessions easily accessible by public transport.
Each session lasts for 90 minutes, making them perfect for double lesson blocks.
What outcomes can we expect?
We measure impact on students’ physical fitness, mental wellbeing, and personal development, providing schools with clear evidence of progress.
How does the programme align with curriculum?
Our programme integrates with key curriculum areas like PE, PSHE, and Outdoor Learning, while also supporting whole-school priorities such as student wellbeing and teamwork.
What’s the typical structure of a session?
Sessions typically include a mix of trail running, outdoor skills, and reflection activities designed to build confidence, resilience, and a sense of community.
Do we need specialist equipment?
No. We tailor our sessions to be as inclusive as possible. We have an inventory of kit, clothing and trail running shoes which can be provided at no extra cost.
