Durham School Team Building Days
Bringing The Problem Solving Company to schools in Durham’s villages, towns, and cities is a significantly more cost-effective option than taking a group of students offsite. With a wide array of mobile team building activities, our team will arrive early, set up, and be ready for the school bell at the start of the day. Our well-trained instructors will lead a fun and educational experience, eliminating the red tape associated with visiting an activity centre.
" An excellent day which allowed our students to get to know each other before starting at Sixth Form ".
Age Appropriate Problem Solving & Team Building
We can cater a specific programme to Primary and Secondary Schools, as well as Colleges and Universities. Our variety of activity days is what makes us so attractive to schools and often what makes them want to book us multiple times a year. Look at our most popular activities that can be differentiated for different year groups. We offer many different math workshops, instructor-led team building days and our multiple escape boxes. If you need to consider a tighter budget, maybe consider our carousel challenge. Alternatively, if you are looking for something lighter and exciting, our crazy golf and laser tag are firm favourites.

Indoor & Outdoor Activity Days
As we are strong believers in the benefits of outdoor education, we would always prefer to run our activities on a school field or playground if possible. We do however appreciate that the weather in the UK is not the most reliable. We are well versed at facilitating our team building activities inside drama studios, sports halls, gyms and classrooms. This allows us to run events all year round in Durham.

STEM Activity days
Our STEM activity days are designed to bring together the skills and qualities needed to work effectively in a team environment as well as challenging the students to design, manufacture, and trial their creations. From trebuchets to rollercoasters and buggies to cranes, the Problem Solving Company has the perfect STEM activity day ready for your primary or secondary school.
Gifted & Able Activity Days
Some schools focus their Able, Gifted & Talented programs on their own students, while others form clusters with nearby schools. The Problem Solving and Team Building Activities provided by The Problem Solving Company are a valuable investment for both approaches. We understand that there is no “typical” Able, Gifted & Talented student, so our challenges are designed with varying degrees of difficulty. This ensures that every participant is engaged and challenged at their individual level of learning.
" It was a great experience for students and teachers - excellent to see students from years 7-13 working together in a way we would never normally see on a typical school day. It was also great the way that what may have looked simple activities, were suitable for such a wide range of ages and every age enjoyed it from the youngest to the oldest. "
Transition Team Building Days
A first day at school can be a daunting experience for any student, especially when transitioning from primary school to secondary school. It is important for students to have the opportunity to make new friends and the Problem-Solving Company’s Transition days are a terrific way to make that happen. Not only do our activities encourage the development of the students’ communication, resilience, and other team building skills, they are also competing against the other classes to have the highest score at the end of the day (and as always, points win prizes!) Our aim is to make the transition day tailored to the school’s needs.
