Gratnells Learning Rooms

Outdoor Learning - Gratnells Learning RoomsChildren’s learning outdoors is just as important as its classroom-based counterpart, and should be supported at every opportunity. Many alternatives present themselves, from teachers using the school grounds and field visits, to nature reserves, beach visits, museum and gallery trips. Every step of a child’s education can be enriched and contextualised in this way.
