WHOLE SCHOOL LEARNING

Planting the seeds of caring about sustainability.

Becoming aware and learning about sustainability has been a journey that we can all continue to develop as we

widen our experience through life.

Our school residentials support our development of outdoor learning by giving children

experiences in another context.

They help children to develop an understanding about sustainability and encourage a personal responsibility for looking after our world.
