Kingswood’s Safety Statement
 Safety is always our top priority. That holds especially true for
adventure activities. Indoors or out, all of these activities take place
in a controlled, safe environment with equipment that is always
carefully inspected. All activities only occur under the watchful eyes
and involvement of highly trained staff.
 Independent experts have trained our instructors and all have
National Governing Body qualifications and lots of experience in
coaching their respective activities. Each session begins with a
safety primer for pupils. Psychologists maintain that risk taking is
instinctive for young people. These activities enable pupils to
experience risk sensations, while in the safest of circumstances.
