Outdoor Education & DofE
At Greenfields, Outdoor Education is a vital part of our approach to learning, offering pupils opportunities to develop resilience, teamwork, leadership, and a deep connection with the natural world. Through structured outdoor learning experiences, including forest schools, adventure activities, and environmental projects, pupils build confidence and practical life skills beyond the classroom.
A cornerstone of our provision at Key Stage 4 is the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, which supports personal growth through physical challenges, volunteering, skill-building, and expedition experiences. Participation in the Award not only promotes independence and perseverance but also enhances pupils’ readiness for further education, employment, and active citizenship. Our aim is to inspire a lifelong appreciation for the outdoors, while equipping pupils with the character, confidence, and capabilities to thrive in a changing world.
