The UK Sailing Academy (UKSA) is an internationally renowned maritime training provider based in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, offering a range of activities from teambuilding exercises through to full sailing courses. DCGS has partnered with UKSA for several years now, and leads trips to the Isle of Wight three times a year.
In their first term at Challoner's, all of Year 7 spend three days at UKSA engaging in a number of activities, with the aim of helping the students get to know each other. Between raft building, kayaking, sea survival training, yachting and a number of other events, this visit is lauded by the Year 7s as a highlight of their first year.
