Outdoor learning
Outdoor education plays a really important part in our curriculum offer. Back in 2019, outdoor education was part of our Pupil Premium approach to raising standards here at Greatwood. We quickly saw the benefits and decided that this approach should be a non-negotiable for all of our children.
