Thomas Hall 16 by 16 Promise – Experiences That Shape Futures

At Thomas Hall, we believe that education should open doors to unforgettable experiences, not just classrooms and exams. That’s why we’ve created the 16 by 16 Promise—our pledge that every student will have the opportunity to complete 16 enriching experiences before they leave school.

These experiences are designed to inspire, challenge, and empower every young person, helping them grow into confident, capable individuals ready for life beyond school.

What’s Included?

Our 16 by 16 experiences span a wide range of opportunities, including:

• Outdoor Adventures – Take on the legendary Ten Tors Challenge, trekking 35 or 45 miles across Dartmoor. Build resilience, leadership, and teamwork while connecting with nature.
• Ecology & Sustainability Projects – Help create a greener future by working on initiatives that make a real impact on our school and community.
• Cultural Capital – Explore the world beyond Exeter with trips to London and other cultural landmarks, broadening horizons and sparking curiosity.
• Skills for Life – From navigation and problem-solving to collaboration and determination, these experiences prepare students for whatever challenges lie ahead.

Why It Matters

The 16 by 16 Promise isn’t just a list—it’s a journey. Every experience is carefully chosen to help students:

✔ Connect with the environment
✔ Develop leadership and confidence
✔ Make a positive impact on their community
✔ Discover new passions and possibilities

By the time they leave Thomas Hall, every student will have a portfolio of memories, achievements, and skills that set them apart.
