Outdoor Learning
At Barnsbury Primary School and Nursery, we believe that children should experience the world beyond the classroom as a key part of their learning and personal development. We aim to use our extensive grounds to ensure children experience a range of engaging outdoor learning opportunities, including Forest School, which offers exciting, motivating and practical experiences to support our children’s holistic development.
Through learning outdoors, we aim for our children to develop their personal, social and emotional skills by working collaboratively, managing risks and problem solving across a broad range of curriculum areas. Taking learning outdoors also develops other essential life skills such as building children’s confidence, perseverance and self-esteem.
