Outdoor Education

Outdoor Planters

Our Eco-Team have been working hard with Mr Young and Mrs Morton to spruce up the front playground with some outdoor planters.  We know how important green spaces are, both for our physical and mental well-being, and this is just the start of a project to try and make the school grounds more appealing.  We will keep you updated with more photographs in the future.

Nell Bank Residential 2025

Our Year 3/4 pupils are having an amazing time at Nell Bank on their residential.  As always, their behaviour has been exemplary and they have approached all challenges with confidence and positivity; including the seven-mile walk!  We are so proud of you all.

Sanctuary Clear Out

It was great to see our Eco-Team getting stuck in today on the first attempt at clearing out The Sanctuary.  As you can see from the photos, our garden area has become quite overgrown and needs a lot of work.  Who better that our Eco-Team who have rolled up their sleeves, quite literally, and started weeding and pulling out dead plants.  Great to see such collaboration in action.

Nell Bank

Our children in Year Three and Four visited Nell Bank in June for our first ever LKS2 residential.  We were a little worried about the age of the pupils and being away from home for two nights, but we shouldn't have because they were fantastic!  Our pupils tackled the seven mile (mostly uphill) walk to the Cow and Calf, went pond-dipping, took part in team activities and used their problem solving skills.  We were also impressed by their manners and behaviour with Nell Bank staff who commented how wonderful they had been.
