How to Get Your Senior Leadership Team on Board with a Rockley Trip

You know how valuable outdoor learning can be. You’ve seen the smiles, the confidence, and the teamwork that come from a week away, but how do you convince your Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to say yes?

We’ve worked with hundreds of schools over the years, so we understand the questions SLTs ask, and how to answer them. Here’s how to make your case with confidence.

Safety is always the top priority, and Rockley’s credentials speak for themselves.
We are AALA-licensed, RYA-recognised, and have decades of experience working with schools across the UK and Europe.

Our instructors are fully qualified, DBS-checked, and trained in safeguarding. We also provide comprehensive risk assessments, insurance details, and parent information packs, so your SLT can be confident that every box is ticked.

Show that your trip is worth every penny. Rockley packages are fully inclusive, covering accommodation, activities, equipment, instruction, meals, and evening entertainment.

We offer flexible options to suit different budgets and school sizes, with transparent pricing and no hidden extras.

Remind your SLT that the outcomes, student growth, wellbeing, and motivation, are long-term returns on a short-term investment.

Here’s a paragraph you can copy straight into your proposal or email to SLT:

“This residential trip with Rockley offers a safe, structured, and curriculum-linked programme designed to enhance students’ confidence, teamwork, and wellbeing. The trip supports our school’s personal development and character education goals while providing students with an unforgettable learning experience.”

Real teacher experiences go a long way in building confidence.

“Our SLT were impressed by Rockley’s professionalism and attention to detail. The trip ran flawlessly, and the educational impact on our students was clear from day one.” - Headteacher, South Dorset
