Our group of pupils, all with special needs, had a wonderful experience. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and achieved things which they would never have believed possible through the encouragement and expertise of the staff. Perhaps it is best summed up in a quote from one of the pupils, ’this is like a dream, I’ve never been to anywhere like this before’

About us

Curriculum for Excellence Loch Lomond, based in Scotland’s first National Park at Loch Lomond, provides invaluable, educational, residential experience for all Scottish schools. Five organisations based at Loch Lomond Shores, Balloch have come together to provide top quality outdoor and indoor activities and safe, comfortable and reliable accommodation. Choose from a variety of activities, from canoeing or minibeasting to hands-on contact with live sea creatures in the touch pool or ceramic painting and of course overnight accommodation in the stunning Loch Lomond Youth Hostel.

The partnership was initiated to match the outcomes or ‘tick the boxes’ of the new curriculum for excellence: successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. Click here to see how we tick all boxes with just one trip!

Additionally, take the stress out of organising school trips – leave everything to us, including all safety documentation and even your return transport. With a wealth of experience in organising and managing school/youth trips, we promise to provide fun and memorable excursions.

Have your next residential school trip tailor made or choose from a variety of competitively priced packages from 1 night to 4 nights, all of which tick the boxes of the new curriculum for excellence.
