Double Accreditation Success for Ty’n-y-Felin Outdoor Education Centre

The Challenge Academy Trust (TCAT) is pleased to share that its outdoor education centre, Ty’n-y-Felin, has achieved two nationally recognised accreditations – the Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) Quality Badge and the Adventure Mark. These awards recognise high-quality provision, strong safety standards, and excellent outdoor learning experiences.

Set in a beautiful location near Rhoscolyn on Anglesey, Ty’n-y-Felin offers a wide range of activities designed to challenge and inspire young people. These include team-building games, problem-solving activities, orienteering, astronomy, archery, campfires, beach art and watersports.

The centre welcomes schools, colleges, and youth groups, making it an excellent venue for residential visits, reward trips, and curriculum-linked learning experiences. Owned by Lymm Grammar School Trust and now leased to The Challenge Academy Trust (TCAT), Ty'n-y-Felin has benefited from significant investment and development. Many TCAT students have already enjoyed visits to the centre, and it is the ambition of the trust for every child to have the opportunity to experience Ty'n-y-felin at some stage during their time at a TCAT school.

These accreditations reflect TCAT’s commitment to providing safe, high-quality outdoor education that helps young people build confidence, resilience and independence.

The LotC Quality Badge also gives reassurance to schools and parents, confirming that the centre meets nationally recognised standards for safety, learning and organisation.

Joe Obiro, Centre Manager at Ty’n-y-Felin, said:

“We are incredibly proud to receive both the LOtC Quality Badge and Adventure Mark. This recognition reflects the dedication of our team to providing safe, high-quality and inspiring experiences for every young person who visits. Outdoor learning plays a vital role in building confidence and creating lasting memories, and these accreditations show our commitment to the highest standards.”

TCAT looks forward to welcoming more schools and groups to Ty’n-y-Felin and continuing to provide memorable outdoor learning opportunities.
