Adventure Secondary School

Hi all, my son is an adventurer, lives in his tent in the garden, hunts small animals, forage his food and lights a fire to cook. He is 11. His dream is to go to an adventure school and I have done my research but those kind of schools seem to be more the post A-levels kind of schools. Does anyone know if there is an adventure school in and around London, which is a secondary school?
Many thanks

Dauntsey’s?

And London Nautical School might also be good. Not for foraging and knifecraft, but the adventure side. AFAIK it’s only Dauntsey’s that has a specific “adventure” curriculum and a Head of Adventure but I think Gordonstoun probably has something similar, if not with that name.

Box Hill school?
Royal Hospital school (more water sports)
Bear Grylls has holiday courses but they are ££££
See what schools run outward bound courses
Remember his interests may change a lot when he hits the teenage years

Just curious. What kinds of small animals does he hunt? Squirrels? Rats? Hedgehogs? Does he eat them or just kill them or just chase them?
