Curriculum lead: 

Mr A Gibbs

Curriculum Vision:

We recognise the immense value of learning outside the classroom (LOtC) as a means of engaging students in experiences that extend beyond traditional academic settings. We want to give students the opportunity to connect with the natural world through hands-on learning while gaining essential knowledge about growth, care, and sustainability. Beyond skill-building, time spent in the garden supports students’ mental and emotional well-being by providing a calming, reflective environment that promotes relaxation, emotional regulation, and a stronger connection to nature.

​

  • Practise how to work safely outdoors in a wide range of weather conditions.

​

  • Learn to follow instructions accurately, use tools safely and understand what to do in situations that could be dangerous. 

​

  • Experience real situations where there is an opportunity to problem solve and think creatively.

​

  • Experience links to work related learning, future employment,  further education  courses and voluntary schemes that they could access now and in the future.

​

  • Develop a deep appreciation for biodiversity and the vital processes that sustain life.
