Learn, explore and discover

Outdoor learning at the Prep School is well and truly integrated into everything we do, taking full advantage of our beautiful grounds at Cranwell House. From Nursery through to Year 6, the girls are actively involved in memorable learning experiences outside the classroom. Learning in this way gives children the freedom to learn using all of their senses and fires imaginative thinking. We are able to create powerful learning experiences which help our girls to develop a sense of place and a relationship with the environment.

Come rain or shine you will find Prep school girls out and about learning in our beautiful 11-acre grounds. We encourage practical outdoor activities which create memorable experiences, including bug hunting, tree planting and pond fishing. The practical, hands-on nature of learning is what makes wonderful lasting memories and helps our girls grow and learn. On any given day your daughter could be growing vegetables in our upcycled greenhouse, performing on our open air stage or using our outdoor kiln.

If they prefer the indoors, then the library has a calm and inviting atmosphere where girls can come to escape in a book, do their homework and have quiet time to reflect.
