SECONDARY SCHOOL ACTIVITY DAYS
Secondary School Activity Days: School Team Building Solutions From The Experts
SSG offer a variety of secondary school activity days to develop team building and problem solving skills.
Once you’ve sent your enquiry and made your booking, we’ll work together with your teachers to tailor a multi activity team building day to suit your aims and objectives, and your budget. Then sit back and we’ll come to you – our specialist instructors will bring all of the equipment, set up and guide pupils through a fantastic Adventure & Challenge Experiences session where every student can take part, and pack up at the end of the day.
We can accommodate large groups, so if you’re looking for an activity to engage many students – a whole class, a whole year group or even a whole school, perhaps for a transition day – please do contact us!
Onsite school team building days are a brilliant alternative to school trips at a fraction of the price. Pupils have the opportunity to bond with their peers through exciting outdoor educational activities designed for young people of all abilities, within school grounds. Our challenges encourage students across key stages to communicate successfully, realise their potential and build their self-esteem, so when they get back into the classroom they have developed skills they can bring with them.
What Makes SSG Secondary School Activity Days Exciting, Educational & Rewarding?
- All activity days have a foundation context which runs through as a theme for the whole day providing relevance for participants, as well as friendly competition between groups.
- Every activity is fun and inclusive using a mixture of technically specific skills alongside ‘character education’ outcomes attached to support in personal development.
- A series of challenges which require participants to be communicative, collaborative and cooperative within their groups to succeed as a team. Our Adventure & Challenge Experiences workshops centre team working, so after a visit from us, your school staff will notice their pupils’ enhanced communication skills within their class teaching.

School Activity Days FAQ
Activities from the set packages can cater for up to 120 pupils, based on group sizes of approximately 15 per group.
Activity days for 120+ pupils can be booked and we will design a bespoke package day based around one or more of the package activity days.
SSG apply a rotational format to each style of activity day ensuring all the pupils get the same opportunities to experience all of the activities throughout the day. Each activity day includes five specially designed activity challenges, where participants get scores for their skills and their attitudes, ensuring to ‘be the best’ also means to ‘be your best’.
It is through this focus and philosophy we can encourage the character education aspect of the provision.
All SSG activity day packages are flexible in how they are applied in delivery and we can identify exactly how best to do that through a quick and simple conversation with the school.
All activity days are fully inclusive for all pupils as activities will be adapted for different ages and abilities, including pupils with specific and challenging barriers such as SEND, confidence and weight management issues.
