OFSTED’s monthly report for October once again highlighted the importance and benefits of taking learning outside the classroom;

 

‘learning activities outside the classroom…led to improved outcomes for pupils, including better achievement, standards, motivation, personal development and behaviour.’

 

At Greenhill we are committed to continue to develop our grounds to create a variety of areas that will enhance learning in all aspects of the curriculum.
