Outdoor learning is a tool to inspire and encourage our students to learn through positive outdoor experiences. These experiences aim to support the holistic development of our young people and foster creative, resilient, confident and independent learners.

The Outdoor learning approach used at Wargrave is designed to use the natural environment to impact positively on the health and well-being of our young people. The experience offers a larger, learning environment outside the confines of the classroom with natural light and reduced environmental stress factors e.g. bright lights.

The opportunities presented through Outdoor Learning also support the progression of social interaction, communication, flexibility, raising self-esteem, increasing the ability to self-regulate and experiencing success. The development of these skills will equip our young people to prepare for life beyond education, enable them to become more self-aware, lead a healthier lifestyle, have positive mental health and become more confident and more independent in all aspects of their everyday lives.

We are working in partnership with Alternative Adventures to provide a range of Adventurous Activities.

This provides a wealth of experiences in nature that challenge and empower learners to develop confidence and self-awareness.
