Joyful, Aspirational Thriving
An Open Air Education holds immense power in shaping individuals and fostering a deep connection with the natural world.
By immersing students in hands-on experiences and engaging with the environment, it offers a unique approach to learning that goes beyond traditional classrooms.
Nature-based education encourages curiosity, observation, and critical thinking skills as students explore and make sense of the world around them. It instills a sense of wonder and awe, fostering a deep appreciation for the intricate web of life and the importance of conservation.
The power of nature-based education lies in its ability to nurture a love for nature, develop environmental stewardship, and create resilient, empathetic, and well-rounded individuals who understand their place within the broader ecosystem of our planet.

“Our decision to move our children from maintained education to Open Air has been the best choice we've made. After visiting the open day and learning more about the ethos and seeing how passionate Hannah and the teachers were was more than anything we could have ever imagined. The shift has been transformative for them. They're thriving in an environment that not only allows them to be themselves but also encourages them to explore their own interests and ideas. Learning outdoors has given them a newfound sense of freedom and joy, while still covering all the traditional subjects. The blend of academic and hands-on learning has fostered their creativity, curiosity, and confidence. The girls go to school happy and come home happy and this alone makes all the difference. We couldn’t be happier with this change, and we’re excited to see them continue to grow in this nurturing and dynamic setting!”
