Outdoor Education

Outdoor education is a cornerstone of our holistic approach to learning and development. Beyond our exceptional sports provision, every child takes part in our exciting outdoor education programme.

Forest School is held in two dedicated woodland areas – one nestled near The Manor for our youngest learners, and another on the main Prep School site where older pupils explore bushcraft skills such as fire building and outdoor cooking.

As children progress through School, they enjoy a series of exciting camping adventures that build resilience and teamwork. We are also developing a dynamic outdoor education curriculum for Years 5 and 6, which will expand on Forest School foundations with thrilling new elements like orienteering and first aid.

Our commitment to outdoor learning extends across the curriculum, with pupils regularly engaging in lessons in our Eco Garden, Outdoor Theatre, and newly established Nature Reserve – ensuring that every child benefits from the inspiration and challenge of the natural world all year round.
