In 2016, we worked with St Margaret's Preparatory School in Calne to help them develop outdoor learning at their school. In order to make the most of outdoor learning sessions, schools need to create stimulating and exciting outdoor areas. The school had already created a wildlife area and had started the development of a school garden. We consulted with pupils, parents and Staff as to what they thought would make their outdoor areas stimulating and exciting.

Pupil, parent and Staff feedback helped to create a final design for the garden as well as identify areas for development in the wildlife area. On Monday 1st February 2016, pupils, parents and Staff took part in a Ground Force Day, where everyone joined in to start the creation of the garden and development of the wildlife area.

They are now able to extend their learning in the classroom out into the garden and wildlife area, bringing their learning to life in a stimulating and exciting way.
