ATE is a charitable not-for-profit organisation which runs residential holidays, known as Superweeks, for children aged 8-16, as well as term-time activities for schools and imaginative experiences & events especially for children.

ATE seeks to contribute to children’s education by providing opportunities to learn about themselves and other people and to discover new things about the world around them. We provide children with a safe, supportive environment away from the pressure of ‘real life’ in which ATE cultivates child-focused holidays where days are play-packed and leave a child with memories that we believe are essential to a happy childhood. We achieve this by having a deep rooted, traceable history in education, and running intensive residential training courses for the volunteers who care for the children. Our volunteers, mostly university students, usually work with us for one week during the summer holidays and work directly with small groups of children on Superweek
