Myddelton College is an independent school providing education for pupils aged 3–18.
Outdoor and Adventure Education is an established and valued part of the College’s curriculum. Provision extends across the full age range, from Early Years and Prep School through to Key Stage 3, GCSE-equivalent Level 2 Outdoor Studies and A-level-equivalent Level 3 Adventure Studies.
The department also manages the College’s Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award provision, alongside camps, residentials, expeditions, weekend Adventure Days and other extracurricular opportunities.
