Venue

The North School is not only a place of academic studies, we also have lots of other activities going on such as our Outdoor and Environment Centre, the School Farm, Youth Centre and Climbing Wall.
 

Abernethy Barcaple is in a secluded setting in the rolling hills of Dumfries and Galloway. The centre is less than 2 hours from Glasgow, Carlisle and Ayr and is ideally sited for easy access to the 7stanes bike trails of Kirroughtree, Dalbeattie and Ae. Loch Ken and the Solway coast are within easy reach.

We have kept our Centre small to provide a real alternative to the large adventure centres, ensuring the maximum personal development and teambuilding opportunities for each pupil as well as plenty of fun! 

Enjoy a unique experience that offers a remarkable insight into the work and outlook of one of Britain’s most important twentieth century artists - Barbara Hepworth - renowned for her sculpture. The museum is housed in Hepworth's  former studio and gardens in St Ives, giving visitors the opportunity to see her sculptures in their natural habitat.

The museum is just 10 minutes away from Tate St Ives.
