For more detail about the current topics, please refer to the class pages under the Parents and Pupils section on our website, which will be updated momentarily to reflect the new term.
Outdoor Learning
We believe that every child should experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of learning and personal development. At Longlands, our outdoor learning experiences include; a Forest School, eco allotment, eco orchard and our award-winning Social Farm. To learn more about our Social Farm and Allotment please click here. Learning outdoors can be enjoyable, creative, challenging and adventurous. It helps children learn by experience and grow as confident responsible citizens who value and appreciate the natural environment. Since 2021, we have started working with the Shropshire Wildlife Trust and Nature Friendly Schools to further progress our school outdoor learning areas and help develop our teachers. We are proud to be an award-winning outdoor learning school.
