ADVENTURE! 2013 Residential Trips for Primary Schools

WELCOME… With our 17th successful year under our belts, we are now looking forward to your groups travelling with us in 2013. We have developed new activities at all of our centres and this development will continue in 2013, as we look to provide the best experience and superb value for money.

Our JCA “excellence” centre, Condover Hall, has been a huge success and continues to excite both students and adults alike as we move into our third year of operation. This amazing product has opened up new opportunities for schools with its unique activities and impressive setting offering both midweek and weekend breaks.

We are offering a vast range of centres and activities with something for everyone from educational and environmental challenges to high adrenaline adventures.

Our staff and centres are inspected and continually monitored by National Governing Bodies* to ensure the quality and content of your stay is of a consistently high standard and value for money.** Many thanks for your time and we really hope you enjoy our new 2013 brochure.

Young people of all ages benefit from real life “hands on” experiences; when they can see, hear, touch and explore the world around them and have opportunities to experience challenges and adventure. Children need to realise the relationship between school experiences and the wider world, however the classroom alone does not always provide these opportunities.

Every young person should be inspired and encouraged to venture outside their comfort zone as an essential part of learning and personal development, whatever their age, ability and circumstances.

the adventure begin…

Janie Burt (Travel Class Managing Director)

* We conform to National Governing Bodies’ Codes of Practice, we are full BAPA members, AALA Licensed where appropriate and hold the Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge and Adventuremark.

We have our flagship Condover Hall property which was brand new for 2011 and exclusive to JCA. This beautiful Elizabethan Mansion House is steeped in history and has undergone a multi million pound refurbishment programme to turn it into a superb residential centre.

Games in Suffolk to pool snorkelling and aquajets in Hampshire, we are sure your students will enjoy having fun in the fresh seaside air.

At our Countryside Centres, which are all unique, we have options ranging from High and Low Ropes to Eco Challenges and Camp Fires, depending on the centre. We have great locations to explore the natural environment in beautiful surroundings.

Our water sports locations; Sandymouth, Coft Farm, Ashburnham Place and Condover Hall have access to large lakes or beaches and offer a range of water-based activities, as well as superb landbased challenges, making them fun, exciting and challenging for all ages wishing to develop new skills.

Our Pledge…

Learning Outside the Classroom…

Every young person should experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of learning and personal development, whatever their age ability and circumstances.

We have pledged to engage in an ongoing process to sustain high-quality learning outside the classroom, by demonstrating that we have met six quality indicators:

● We have a process in place to assist users to plan the learning experience effectively

● We will provide accurate information about what we are offering

● We will provide activities, experience and resources which meet learner needs

● We will review the experience and act on feedback

● We will meet the needs of the users ● We have a safety management processes in place to manage risk effectively

Young people of all ages benefit from real life ‘hands on’ experiences; when they can see, hear, touch and explore the world around them and have opportunities to experience challenges and adventure. They need to realise the relationship between school experiences and the wider world. The classroom environment doesn’t always provide young people with enough of these opportunities.

Learning Outside the Classroom aims to get students and young people out and about. Experiences ranging from activity days to residential stays help motivate young people, reducing poor behaviour and truancy, while helping schools to raise attainment and meet Every Student Matters outcomes.

There is an increasing body of evidence which clearly demonstrates the benefits for young people’s learning and personal development outside the classroom. In summary, when young people learn outside the classroom, they:

● are exposed to new experiences ● learn in different ways related to their learning styles ● are motivated to learn more and feel positive about learning ● become self-confident, developing self-esteem and self-awareness ● work together, fostering decision-making and teamwork ● improve communication skills with peers and adults ● are healthier, and their sense of well-being increases ● appreciate the links between formal and informal learning JCA are Learning Outside the Classroom quality badge holders ensuring good practice, high quality teaching and learning experiences and risk management. Our courses promote personal, social and health education by:

● allowing young people to face new challenges and overcome fears ● developing coordination and mastering new skills ● developing effective communication skills ● adapting to new situations and environments ● solving problems and taking responsibility ● encouraging discipline and self control ● increasing self esteem and confidence ● promoting team work ● gaining independence ● promoting a healthy lifestyle ● developing a positive attitude towards others and balancing points of view

Our commitment to you‌ JCA are committed to ensuring that you and your students gain the most from your stay with us and as a result we are supporters of the Learning Outside the Classroom Badge and Adventuremark. All of our activities are developed with key Learning Objectives in mind. Students and adults will see each other in a new light.

Individuals who travel with JCA will gain self confidence, increased self discipline and improved co-ordination and concentration. Examples of activities that will enable this are Abseiling, Tri Golf, Archery, Cirque Du JCA and Leap of Faith.

Groups will develop self awareness, communication and negotiation skills, students will also use their own initiative more.

Examples of activities that will enable this are Sensory Trail, Crate Stack, Climbing, Raft Building, Survival and Team Challenge.

Students will be put through Physical Challenges that link to the national curriculum.

Examples of activities that will enable this are Dance Mania, Fencing, Canoeing, Swimming and World of Sport.

We want you to go green with our various Eco activities that will be on site.

Students will learn about the environment around them from energy saving, identifying different plants and mini-beasts, to an exciting Night Walk.

We feel that the best possible trip combines all of the above and we can tailor your itinerary to suit your students! call: 0845 8051108 email: enquiries@jca-adventure.co.uk web: www.jca-adventure.co.uk

Sample Itinerary Recruiting, Supervising and Training As a recognised Investor in People, we understand that the training and development of staff is the key to any successful company.

Recruitment

Three Steps to recruiting JCA staff…

1. Many of our centre staff have worked for JCA in previous seasons and choose to return year after year. We also place advertisements in specialist publications to attract new recruits.

2. Prior to recruitment, all staff are required to complete a detailed JCA application form. Individuals are then selected for interview and are assessed on their enthusiasm, friendliness and suitability to work with students.

3. Two mandatory references are taken for each potential employee, plus an enhanced disclosure to the Criminal Records Bureau (or equivalent government agency).

Instruction and Supervision ● Our instructor to student ratio is a maximum of 1 to 12 for land-based activities, 1 to 8 for surf activities and 1 to 8 for all other water sports. These ratios comply with the strict standards of the appropriate governing bodies. ● We lead the way in the multi-activity industry by training our instructors in all of our activities (with the exception of water sports where we employ specialist instructors). ● We aim for each individual to be qualified in every activity and offer the unique policy of one dedicated multi-trained instructor per group for the duration of your stay. ● Having a multi-skilled instructor helps us to understand the strengths, limitations and personalities of each student which, in turn, helps students to reach their full potential through trust and support. ● A full list of instructors’ names and qualifications are held on-site and is available to groups upon request.

Professional Training ● S uccessful applicants are offered provisional contracts of employment which are subject to satisfactory completion of our intensive training course. ● The training course prepares them for their future role and involves coaches from national governing bodies as well as extensive in-house training by managers and/or senior instructors. ● Successful staff must then complete a probationary period of work, during which time they are supervised and assessed by senior JCA instructors. ● Instructors are provided with our comprehensive company training manual which includes: Activity Sessions Standards and Procedures - Strict Safety Standards and Guidelines for the conduct of all activities. Other subjects include health & safety at work, student protection, group management and other essential skills.

Frequently asked questions…

Why is a Residential Course so important to our school?

In addition to covering several key aspects of the National Curriculum, a visit to a JCA centre provides your group with a brand new learning environment to build confidence and develop independence. Your group will experience challenging and exciting adventures in a safe and secure setting that will encourage team building and most of all, FUN! This is widely recognised and supported by all the leading political parties and is demonstrated through recent investment.

“School trips are an integral part of school life… Teachers and pupils gain immensely from such trips, not only do they have a high educational content, but they allow teachers and pupils to get to know each other better in a different environment from the classroom”. National Union of Teachers.

How do you compare to your competitors?

1. Your insurance premium is included in the price of your course. If your cancellation falls within the terms of the policy, you may make a claim on it. In any event, the insurance premiums are not refundable.

2. If any cancellation reduces the total number of paying persons to below the minimum number required for a particular course, we reserve the right to alter the course price and/or concessionary price (or concession) accordingly for all remaining paying group members.

3. If the Party Leader wishes to make an amendment or alteration to the confirmed booking details, we will do out best to meet the request.

If the changes requested involve a major alteration to the confirmed booking, for example a change of centre, accommodation or departure date we reserve the right to treat the change as a cancellation and to apply cancellation charges as set out above and to treat the amended arrangements as a new booking.

4. Any minor changes, for example a change in meal arrangements, etc. will incur a charge of £10 per party to cover our administration costs.

G - Cancellation by the Company 1. Although we will do our best to provide residential activity courses as shown in this brochure, there might be occasions, because of change in circumstances beyond our control, when we have to make changes to or cancel holidays both before and after the party leader has booked.

We reserve the right to make such changes at our absolute discretion.

Most changes, if necessary, will be minor.

2. Occasionally, we will have to make a significant change to a confirmed booking, in which case we will advise you as soon as possible. If such a change occurs, we will provide you with a choice of (a) accepting the change; (b) purchasing another course

call: 0845 8051108 email: enquiries@jca-adventure.co.uk web: www.jca-adventure.co.uk

from us if available (and paying the extra cost or receive a refund in respect of any price difference), or (c) receiving a full refund of all the monies paid. If we are forced to make significant change, we will pay you compensation on the scale set out in E. above (except where the significant change or cancellation is made as a result of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care which includes, but is not limited to, events listed below under “Force Majeure”).

3. Please note that no compensation is payable regarding a minor change and in all cases we do not accept responsibilities for any cost incurred as a result of any change. Please note that if your Final Balance is not paid by the correct date for any reason you will not be entitled to compensation.

4. “Force Majeure” means circumstances such as war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions and all similar events outside our control. In these circumstances, we cannot offer compensation or refund, for any cost incurred by you where the company is forced to cancel, delay, curtail or change your holiday in any way, or where the performance or prompt performance of our contract with you is prevented or affected.

H - Our Liability 1. The company accepts responsibility for the service which it provides.

Many services included in your overall course provision such as the services provided by the site, coach companies or other transport operators are provided and performed by organisations over whom Travel Class has no direct control. However, the company accepts responsibility for providing all the various parts of your trip to a reasonable standard and the company has done its best to ensure that the services provided by its various suppliers are efficiently supplied and are of a reasonable standard. The company accepts the responsibility for acts and/or omissions of its employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers provided they were at the time acting within the scope of or in the course of their employment agency or contract of supply. This acceptance of liability does not apply where the term and definition of “Force Majeure” as defined in these conditions occurs. In all cases where personal injury, illness or death occurs, the companys liability is limited to the trip price (excluding insurance premiums and any alteration/amendment charges) of the person(s) affected in total.

2. The company also accepts responsibility for the death, injury or illness of any member of the party which occurs as a result of failure to perform or improper performance of any part of our contract with you by any of the companys employees, agents or subcontractors, provided they were at the time acting within the scope of or in the course of their employment, agency or contract of supply, with the exception that the failure to perform or improper performance was due to your own acts and/or omissions, or those of any third party not connected with the provision of your trip arrangements and which were unforeseeable and unavoidable, or an event which either ourselves or the suppliers of the service(s) could not have foreseen or forestalled even with all due care. As far as sea carriage is concerned the companys liability is limited as if we were carriers within the appropriate national convention. Our acceptance of this liability is conditional upon your notifying us in writing within 28 days of your return from your trip, and where any payment is made to you or a member of your party by us or our insurers, we reserve the right to claim against any third party responsible. It is also a condition that the person(s) in receipt of such payment will assign to ourselves or our insurers any rights they may have to claim against any third party.

3. You must also agree to give ourselves or our insurers your full co-operation.

4. Should you or any member of your party suffer illness, injury or death during the period of your trip by misadventure arising from any activity which does not form part of the services we are contracted to provide, we shall do our best at our absolute discretion to give assistance, guidance and financial assistance, where appropriate, up to a limit per booking of £5,000 cost to ourselves.

5. Under the terms of your insurance, all the members of your party are covered for medical expenses, medical emergency service and legal expenses cover. If any costs incurred by the company in providing you with the aforementioned financial assistance are for insured risks or in the event of a successful claim against a third party, the company reserves the right to recover costs from the party member concerned.

3. Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract which cannot be amicably settled may be referred to arbitration, if the customer so wishes, under a special Scheme arranged by the Association of British Travel Agents, and administered independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.

4.

The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customers in respect of costs. Full details will be provided on request or can be obtained from the ABTA website (www.abta. com). The Scheme does not apply claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking form. Neither does it apply to claims, which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The Scheme can however deal with compensation claims, which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,000 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. The application for arbitration and Statement of Claim must be received by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators within nine months of the date of return. Outside this time limit arbitration under the Scheme may still be available if the company agrees, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement.
