At Swanbourne House, our Outdoor Education Programme is designed to inspire curiosity, build resilience and strengthen children’s connection with the natural world.
Outdoor learning helps children develop confidence, teamwork and problem-solving skills. From bug-hunting in Ecology Club to kayaking on the River Wye, pupils discover more about themselves, their peers and the environment, with benefits that extend into academic achievement and personal wellbeing.
At Swanbourne House, the outdoors is part of who we are and our pupils make the most of the space every single day.
Whatever the lesson, and whatever the weather, we believe fresh air and freedom inspire curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.
Our woodland outdoor classroom, complete with tepee and fire pit, is a hub for Outdoor Learning. Pupils might practise maths with woodland challenges, study science through ecology walks or even take a French class in the open air.
From bushcraft and den-building to cooking over campfires, outdoor learning is woven into school life from the earliest years.
