STEM in the Outdoors

Our 55 acres of exceptional grounds and woodlands are an extension of the learning environment. Outdoor learning creates countless opportunities for science, design and technology in action.

From exploring ecology in the woods, to testing engineering projects, building dens or using the landscape itself as inspiration for design projects, pupils learn how STEM applies to the real world around them.
