Find out moreWHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THE HIVE
Our approach and missions focus on imagination, project-based learning, collaboration and problem-solving, all in the outdoors. Our missions are bespoke, with over 40 different workshops to choose from.
Children learn with real tools and to solve real problems by learning through doing, making mistakes and learning from them. At The Hive, children follow the design process and are trusted and supported to use professional equipment, technology and tools.
They are artists, makers, bushcraft experts, architects, filmmakers, Forest School leaders or scientists. Most of our facilitators have graduate qualifications in their chosen field, several years of experience and the passion and know how to help children achieve.
Children work in teams of 8 to 10 with an adult ratio of between 1:2 and 1:8 depending on the type of activity. This small setting allows children to create collectively, build trust and test their team building skills.
We have access to acres of grounds, fields and woodlands to roam. Our partnerships with leading independent schools give us access to some of the most beautiful natural school settings around London.
For younger children, technology (iPads) is used to enhance the story by adding interactivity, augmented reality and suspense! For older children and teens, it is there to enhance the project-based approach.
