The Wild Wood

The Wild Wood is an exciting outdoor learning environment that opened in 2018.

Spanning one acre, our Wild Wood, serves as an enriching outdoor classroom for pupils across the whole school, complementing their classroom-based learning with dynamic, hands-on experiences. This immersive teaching approach deepens their understanding of the topics they study in the classroom. For instance, students delving into the Stone Age curriculum engage in practical activities within the Wild Wood, such as fire lighting, charcoal making, and constructing survival shelters using materials sourced directly from the environment. These experiences vividly bring to life the realities of prehistoric times, enhancing their comprehension. Furthermore, students explore concepts like habitats and the natural world and learn how to keep a sustainable and managed woodland. Mathematical principles such as trigonometry come to life as pupils measure the heights of trees, applying theoretical knowledge in a real-world context as well as utilising natural elements like sticks and stones to decipher patterns, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. 

Come rain or shine, classes are conducted outdoors. The Wild Wood boasts a variety of features, including winding pathways and secluded teaching areas equipped with wooden seating and bird-watching hides. For added excitement, there is even a designated area for axe throwing, providing a thrilling hands-on enrichment experience. Additionally, a pizza hut serves as a venue for pupil celebrations and gatherings, fostering a sense of community among both day pupils and boarders alike. 

Our Wild Wood is a place to explore, discover, and grow, providing memorable educational experiences beyond conventional classroom settings.

The Wild Wood is open to all ages at the school and is overseen by our Director of Outdoor Activities, Stuart Jackson.
