Children engage in daily outdoor learning at 'The Spinney' forest school area. This nature-based approach develops physical coordination, risk assessment skills, and environmental awareness through hands-on exploration and seasonal activities.

We work closely with families through regular updates, stay-and-play sessions, and individualised progress reviews. Parents receive our 'Child Protection Policy for Parents' during induction and can access full policy documents at any time.
