Impact Statement

We continue to run and host an outdoor learning cluster group comprising St Margaret's and a number of local primary and preparatory schools, as well as a school for students with learning and behavioural needs. We work collaboratively and organise a range of events during the year, which culminates each spring term in a 'Big Outdoor Lesson', which takes place in our grounds, led by a Forest School practitioner from another setting. Activities facilitate a range of learning opportunities for the children from each participating school, including learning many different outdoor learning skills and teamwork, as well as developing aspects such as resilience, communication and tolerance. The impact has without doubt been in respect of the marked increase in effective learning skills, as well as seeing children who might otherwise struggle within an indoor classroom environment, thrive.
