Sailing Adventure - France
With over 30 years experience of teaching sailing to students of all ages, this remains a speciality at a number of our centres and is popular with schools that are looking to focus on learning a new skill.
In particular, groups that are working towards components of the AQA or EdExcel GCSE PE sylabus tend to find that after a weeks tuition at a Rockley Adventure Sailing centre, they are reaching the higher levels of attainment.
