Fundraising for the Ufton Longhouse
An inspirational new teaching space at Ufton
The Longhouse is the final building needed at Ufton. It will be a vital and inspirational space. In bad weather our children are currently restricted to a single cramped indoor space for eating, playing and working. The Longhouse will transform this and enable enriching activities to continue day and night, winter and summer.

What is the Ufton Longhouse?Why Support our Ufton Longhouse?
The Ufton Longhouse
Our Longhouse will provide a vital evening and wet weather space for Ufton Adventure children to enrich their learning from early years through to GCSEs. It will also enable us to meet the requirements of the history national curriculum for primary school aged children.
We have planning permission to build a Longhouse in our woodland. We will create an innovative and inspirational learning space that will:
- Allow outdoor learning to continue, whatever the weather, 12 months of the year.
- Be accessible to all, with pathways and facilities for disabled children.
- Provide a space for drama workshops to develop confidence and explore wellbeing.
- Be a space in which Adventurers can discuss, review, reflect and embed their learning.
- Provide a space for crucial revision residentials, to help prepare for taking GCSEs.
- Blend in with its surroundings and harmonise outdoor and indoor teaching areas.
Building on our Success
Ufton Adventure groups currently have one communal space, the kitchen cabin (below), which is too small and too multi-functional. This new space will be the final piece in the Ufton jigsaw, enabling us to offer flexibility for all our groups as well as a really high quality learning environment.
