What classes are available?
Single Sessions School Climbing
Perfect for seeing what climbing can do for you and your students, our single sessions are a great way to test the water and see for yourself how climbing can benefit your pupils.
With opportunities for students to communicate, collaborate and compete with each other, while learning to evaluate and recognise their own successes.
Our experienced instructors are able to create sessions full of games and challenges designed to help develop young climbers’ skills and boost their confidence.
Ideal for any ability level, find out how climbing sessions at Big Depot can add another level to your PE program.
Suited for ages 5+, our 1 hour long sessions can be tailored to suit the needs of your students, whether the session is part of their wider physical education or an end-of-term reward.
Our single sessions have an emphasis on nurturing adventurous spirits while developing confidence, teamwork, balance, and agility.
A ratio of 1 instructor to every 6 students ensures the highest quality of sessions in the safest environment.
Progression Program Schools Climbing
Looking for more structure with progress tracking and providing a grassroots pathway into additional climbing activities?
Our progression program sessions provide you and your students with a record of personal development through a nationally recognised scheme.
Perfect for students to compare their performances and demonstrate improvement within a demanding physical activity.
Offering options for both Wild Climbers (ages 5-6) and NICAS Climbing (ages 7+), our qualified instructors are able to deliver these nationally recognised programs in a tailored manner for your classes.
These sessions will inspire pupils to succeed and excel in developing skills that are transferable both physically and mentally.
From meeting key EYFS learning areas to nurturing the development of new participants to experienced and capable climbers, our 1.5-hour, instructor-led sessions can be tailored to suit your needs.
From the frequency of sessions to the learning outcomes involved; students will become physically confident, in a manner that supports their health and fitness, while developing character-building qualities and supporting values such as fairness and respect.
Progression program sessions can be scheduled weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Speak to our staff for more details.
