Outdoor learning is a child-led approach to learning that incorporates children’s right to play and to access the outdoor environment.  

At Holton Primary, through our outdoor learning sessions we hope to encourage independent, enthusiastic, creative and resilient learners who develop holistically through a well-planned and interesting child-centred approach.  

We believe the benefits of regular time outdoors are valued and appreciated, and outdoor learning, play and connection with nature is recognised as a fundamental part of education. 

​

Through our outdoor learning sessions, children and young people can have hands on experiences leading to high levels of well-being, confidence, and engagement, whilst also supporting their social, emotional and physical development. 

Learners who are able to engage and connect with the natural world can build empathy for the environment, showing their awareness of their potential impact on the living world.
