Outdoor Learning
The outdoor classroom is crucial in supporting children’s growing awareness of the need to care for the environment and to develop a sense of responsibility, whilst getting a little dirty! Access to the outdoors is provided on a daily basis throughout the year and whatever the weather, our pupils develop their character, curiosity and resilience by being exposed to the great outdoors.
Our inspiring and magical gardens and forest school benefit all of our pupils, whatever their age.
Buildings
Junior pupils have their own distinct Junior School nestled in the heart of the Senior site with high-quality dedicated educational facilities. As well as new classrooms, we have refurbished a science lab to create a discovery lab, a creative space for teaching science and food technology, and a physics lab has been refurbished as a flexible physics and design technology space to benefit all pupils.
Our Junior pupils also have access to the Senior School facilities, including art rooms, music rooms, the ICT room, science labs, the library, and the theatre, as well as the dining area and assembly halls. The classrooms, not just in the new junior school but the Design Technology space, the Discovery Lab and Science spaces too, all support deep level learning.
Our new school site is a treasure trove of characterful indoor and outdoor spaces and these are just as important for stimulating curiosity, interaction and friendship as they are for providing fresh air, freedom to explore and relaxation.
