As recognised by our recent OFSTED report our whole school curriculum is further enriched by this outdoor education provision; providing every child with experiences of plant and animal husbandry, creative and physical activity, and a rich understanding of the natural world and its environmental issues. By providing activities that link directly to the curriculum’s core and foundation subjects, children learn about mathematics, science and geography concepts using real world contexts.
All activities are planned on a risk/benefit basis and enable children to take part in a range of exciting activities that develop their self-confidence and self-esteem. Examples of this are campfire building, using tools and developing outdoor crafts.
We are incredibly proud of this fantastically interactive part of our school life.
