Outdoor Learning
At Belmont, we firmly believe in the value of outdoor learning to enhance our classroom teaching.
Our extensive grounds, boasting a fishing pond, nature reserve, reading garden, Forest School and an outdoor classroom, serve as vibrant extensions of our learning environment.
Our teachers constantly look at how to integrate outdoor education into our curriculum, ensuring pupils benefit from hands-on experiences that go beyond traditional classroom settings. Whether it's exploring scientific concepts in our Forest School, delving into history through outdoor reenactments, or fostering creativity inspired by nature, our students thrive in these diverse outdoor spaces. This approach not only reinforces academic concepts but also instils in our students a deep appreciation for the environment and a sense of responsibility towards it.
Beyond academic enrichment, we truly believe outdoor learning nurtures vital life skills. It fosters teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving in a real-world context. Pupils not only gain knowledge but also develop a connection and enjoyment with nature, contributing to their wellbeing.
We strive to create a learning environment that encourages curiosity, exploration, and a lasting passion for learning, all while promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship.
