Outdoor Education
Active outdoor learning is a fundamental element of life within our Kindergarten setting.
Bringing The Outdoors In
Our children enjoy plentiful outdoor space in their two dedicated and spacious play areas, sitting alongside two further playgrounds for Junior School children.
Both our Kindergarten and Junior School children have access to the newly renovated Trim Trail, while our Secret Garden is filled with trees to climb and exciting spaces to discover, with our young learners free to investigate and explore their surroundings.
Our children are encouraged to participate in active outdoor learning every day, making use of our bespoke indoor/outdoor play areas and using natural materials as stimuli to foster a greater understanding of nature and the world around them.
The aim of our outdoor play is not to replace, but to enhance and enrich the curriculum, making learning fun, meaningful and relevant.
We believe that there is no such thing as bad weather! We play outdoors daily, come wind, rain or shine, discovering how different weather conditions can affect the natural environment around us.
Our children are encouraged to become their own risk assessors, ensuring that their surroundings are safe and secure to play in each day. We enable children to investigate and explore risk in a controlled environment, allowing them to develop an understanding of their own abilities, build upon their resilience and aid their physical development.
