Outdoor Education Programme

The outdoor education programme gives variety and a sense of adventure, within the curriculum. Children gain in confidence as they face new challenges, supported and encouraged by each other.

 

Years 3 and 4 experience a day of outdoor activities followed by an overnight camp in the school grounds.

They have the opportunity to challenge themselves, building their self-confidence. Year 6 spend a week at an outdoor activity centre, enjoying kayaking, rock climbing and hiking to name but a few activities.
