At St Michael's, opportunity to learn outdoors is an essential part of what we offer. We believe that accessing the great outdoors is vital for children and supports their physical and spiritual development as well as much more!

It gives the children further experiences that are not always offered through studying the National Curriculum alone. We know that through learning outdoors, children have the chance to flourish in numerous areas of the curriculum, grow in confidence and become well rounded individuals. It is an essential element of our personal development.

As a result of this, outdoor learning plays a huge part in our school lives.  The outdoor learning at St Michael's takes on 4 elements.  These elements include an ongoing outdoor passport based on outdoor experiences, outdoor projects which last the length of topics bringing them to life, gardening taught by our resident gardener and specific lessons which are taught outdoors linking directly to the National Curriculum.

Learning outside of the the class encapsulates using the school grounds, working in the village, activities at Whisby and school trips.

Please ensure that your child has wellies in school at all times.
