Beach and Forest School at Sennen

By committing to learning both inside and outside the classroom, we are able to teach children that learning occurs everywhere, at all times.

High-quality outdoor learning experiences are proven to:

• develop reflective and inquisitive thinking along with problem-solving approaches in ‘real’ situations
• encourage holistic development of children
• develop resilience and adaptability in occasionally adverse circumstances
• allow children to become more able to identify hazards and risks
• develop a love, appreciation and respect for nature and all that is living
• develop an understanding of how we can look after our environment
• develop self-awareness, confidence and self-esteem
• develop collaborative-working and communication skills
• provide positive health benefits – both physically and mentally – and assist gross and fine-motor development
• develop a lifelong love of the outdoors
