At Hamp Nursery and Infants school Outdoor Learning is an integral part of our school curriculum. All children in the school and onsite nurseries have access to broad and diverse learning experiences in our outdoor and forest school areas. National research has shown that children’s physical and mental well-being is improved when children are able to learn in outdoor spaces. At Hamp Nursery and Infants School, we will provide fully inclusive and differentiated learning in our outdoor areas that is safe and supportive. We aim to encourage children to take planned risks that will support and prepare them to become independent learners. We are committed to providing opportunities for children to learn in a cross-curricular way that has outdoor learning interwoven into all of our topic plans.
