Outdoor Learning Week

October 21, 2019
Our dedicated staff are always looking for new ways to inspire and enthuse our pupils, to foster their love of learning. Research has shown that outdoor learning has many benefits: health, wellbeing, physical skills and connecting with nature, to name just a few.

This term, we had our first Outdoor Learning Week - and what a week it was! Our pupils loved getting their hands, faces and clothes dirty during a whole range of activities including bushcraft, orienteering, nature-based art, and even conker maths.
