Outdoor Education

Education is learning for life.  It is widely accepted that effective learning takes place from first hand experience.  Much of this experience may be gained by utilising the outdoor environment, not only for acquisition of skills, but for social and personal development.  Outdoor education provides a flexible framework to develop essential skills, concepts, attitudes and issues, at all levels, for all children, in an atmosphere where learning is fun. 

Children at Key Stage 1 investigate the school grounds and the local environment.  Children in Years 3-6 have the opportunity to go on a longer residential experience which offers adventurous activities that we are not able to provide through the normal school curriculum.
