THE Launceston College Multi Academy Trust (MAT) is looking forward to a time when its new primary school pupils can access its renovated residential accommodation on Dartmoor.

Bachelor’s Hall, owned by the Trust, is located in the heart of Dartmoor and has been carefully renovated to provide sleeping facilities for up to 60 people.

It is available to all Trust members and the public for hire. The new Launceston Primary School, which opens to Reception pupils in September 2021, is looking forward to utilising the space available to them.

Claire Penfold, CEO of the MAT, said: “Bachelor’s Hall is our Trust’s residential accommodation on Dartmoor. We are so fortunate to have this incredible asset for our pupils to use, and we want to ensure that they all get the chance to experience it.

“It provides an opportunity for young people in our Trust to experience being in nature and the outdoors. In an environment which is so unique, vast and staggeringly beautiful, pupils can explore the remote landscape, whilst only being 45 minutes from home.

“Using out established outdoor instructor networks, we can provide our pupils with a range of outdoor and adventurous activities, in a safe environment where they can roam, be free and develop skills of independence and resilience. Let the adventure begin!”
