A look into our woodland classroom!
Whether our pupils are enjoying interactive language lessons, developing core skills in sport, or practising mathematical equations, the curriculum at Fairfield is designed to be broad and balanced, offering opportunities for stretch and challenge.
A key part of this varied curriculum is our commitment to outdoor learning. We at Fairfield believe that igniting a passion for the environment in the early stages of a child’s journey through school fosters a lifelong love of outdoor learning, which is why we take learning from the classroom into the great outdoors!

Embracing the outdoors🍂
We believe in nurturing our pupils beyond the confines of the classroom and Forest School is an essential part of our curriculum.
Sessions are designed to provide high-quality outdoor learning experiences that not only reinforce classroom learning but also promote pupils’ wellbeing, social skills and confidence. Nature-based experiences have been linked to reduced stress and improved mental health, providing children with a space to relax and build resilience.
Ultimately, Forest School cultivates a deep appreciation for the natural world, fostering a sense of responsibility towards the environment and a holistic understanding of our planet.
