What to expect from Stories by the Sea

Experienced & qualified leaders

Stories by the Sea is led by Helen Brasted, qualified teacher and Beach School leader. I have over 12 years experience teaching primary school children and 5 years experience running beach school trips.

A qualified paediatric first aider will be present.

All leaders have an enhanced DBS check.

Inspired by imagination

All activities will have storytelling and imagination at their heart. Children will explore the beach for treasure, make pictures of sea monsters and mermaids with seaweed, and tell stories of pirates.

Open to children aged 5 - 11.

Sea air, stories & sunshine

Being outdoors boosts our mental and physical health and wellbeing. Your child will enjoy three days of screen-free outdoor learning and fun on the beach.

Be ready with sun cream and sun hats or waterproofs if wet. We can seek shade or shelter in the Storytelling Area during the day.
