The AWEsome programme is designed to integrate outdoor learning, adventure sports and school based learning to support delivery of curriculum outcomes, specifically focused on Literacy/ STEM/ Health & Wellbeing.
The programmes are bespoke and tailor made to each school, designed to deliver educational outcomes and key priorities themed around a text the pupils will cover in class. Active travel (cycling/walking) is used as the preferred method of transport to enhance place based learning in the local area. The programmes are designed to inspire adventure and responsible access to local green and blue space, enhancing the Learning for Sustainability approach to life, learning & work.
Our P6s take part in 2 AWEsome days in February. Check out the video to see what one of our classes got up to on their AWEsome day.
