Avon Tyrrell

Avon Tyrrell is situated between the villages of Bransgore and Burley in the New Forest. It is a beautiful manor house that was build in the last century to celebrate Lord Manners winning the Grand National.

Why?

• To help the transition to secondary school –students find out more about each other, the college, the staff and themselves

• It’s an opportunity to work outside the classroom in groups and individually

• Students can take part in new activities that can’t be done in college, or in the city

• Because it’s fun!
