Introduction
Welcome to Stourfield Junior School's Outdoor Classroom Project
The outdoor environment can offer rich learning  experiences not found indoors and an outdoor classroom is ideal for an evolving curriculum, providing sensory experiences leading to greater levels of creativity and understanding.
When completed, the outdoor Classroom will be full of wonderful things for children to experiment, discover, and explore.
We propose the creation of an outside classroom of sufficient size and design to use as a cross curricular education resource for our school, the local community and any other schools that may wish to use it. The ‘classroom’ will be located on our playing fields adjoining the community centre. We wish to use the natural environment as a teaching  resource, not just to help deliver the national curriculum, but to also educate children (and adults) about their environment and how they can help safeguard it for future generations.
Have a look at the initial plan here.
