Outdoor Learning at St. Edward's Catholic School

We believe that outdoor learning offers a wealth of benefits that extend far beyond the classroom walls. Engaging with God's natural world stimulates children's curiosity and fosters a love for exploration, promoting critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they navigate real world situations. The physical activity associated with outdoor learning enhances children's health, while the exposure to fresh air and natural light has been shown to boost mood and reduce anxiety. We at St. Edward's School have witnessed first hand how the outdoor environment encourages social interaction and teamwork, helping to build strong relationships amongst peers. We believe that by integrating outdoor learning into the curriculum, we can cultivate resilient, well-rounded children who are better equipped to manage their mental health and thrive in a fast-paced world. 

Watch this space for the exciting adventures our children will experience this year as they explore the wonders of the outdoor environment right on our school site!
