Exeat Experience Days
Because inset shouldn’t feel like an endurance test
What if your next boarding staff development day actually felt like a pause button – not another thing to get through?
Join me in an Exeat Experience Day
Moments of growth, connection, and genuine human support, designed specifically for those who live and breathe the boarding world. We stay. We play. We unlock those pockets of knowledge together that will support your boarding world.
These aren’t cookie-cutter CPD days. These are spaces to regroup, reflect, and reimagine – together.
Training built for you, not at you.
Whether you need time to unpack a tough term, explore team dynamics, or just press reset on morale, we co-create your day to meet your people exactly where they are.
What If?
What if… training didn’t come with eye rolls?
What if… your boarding world is calling out for the knowledge in your rooms?
What if… your team left feeling lighter, not heavier?
What if… professional development meets your team’s lived experience?
These days are designed for exactly that. With the right mix of structure and support, we build a meaningful space that helps your staff feel seen – and supported.

Hosted in your community, off site or online.

What’s In an Exeat Day?
Your community pick the topic.
Together we design the experience.
Here is what you could be doing…
Jigsaw Challenges
Let’s piece together the real stories of your team – what fits, what’s missing, and what needs more space. Think reflective, interactive, and refreshingly honest.
Jenga Moments
Yes, for the moment that you have built so much and need to keep it all together.
Lego Serious Play
Build understanding (literally). These sessions use creativity and metaphor to spark conversation, reveal insights, and reframe tricky topics with empathy and fun. (PS, one of my favourite moments.)
Exeat Circles
No slides. Just voices. These guided conversations bring your knowledge together for more.
Guess Who? Boarding Edition
No, not that one! Who has won the interhouse competition for the year? A different moment to reflect and build together.
Space to Breathe
Because sometimes the most valuable CPD is a chance to exhale. We include reflective time by design – so your people don’t leave more exhausted than when they arrived.
Why Play Works in Training
Because boarding life is serious enough.
At Exeat Together, I use play with purpose. Games, creativity, and experiential learning open doors to real conversations, spark connection, and make the hard stuff easier to explore. When we play, we drop the pressure, lower the guard, and make room for insight.
It’s not just fun – it’s how learning sticks, how stories surface, and how people feel safe enough to grow.
Play isn’t the opposite of professional - it’s the key to it.
I design training and upskilling experiences that actually support real people in real boarding roles.
These exeat experiences are not for you if you love powerpoint, do not like sticky notes or are not able to release your inner child!
Why it works
Because real development isn’t just about what you learn. It’s about how you feel while learning it. These days work because they:
- Put people first
- Honour the lived experience of working in boarding
- Create a safe and inclusive space
- Offer practical takeaways alongside meaningful connection
- Leave staff saying “I needed that” – not “what was that?”
