Outdoor Learning
Opportunities to learn beyond the classroom are intrinsic to life at Ferney Lee. We are very lucky to have a unique outdoor learning environment, which includes a woodland known as the Wild Garden, in addition to a range of playground spaces.
Forest School principles underpin our philosophy and children regularly access outside opportunities to consolidate their cognitive, social and collaborative skills. We facilitate a range of tasks for children to test out ideas and solve problems, tapping into their innate curiosity.
Children become skilled at directing their own learning, drawing on their experiences and understanding to make connections. Differentiating opportunities for children to learn in the outdoor environment ensures all of our children have an opportunity to succeed.
We strive to develop resilience, confidence and perseverance in all children, so that they can engage fully with the innovative curriculum that we offer.
