We strongly believe that: “Play is freely chosen, personally directed, intrinsically motivated behaviour that actively engages the child. Play can be fun or serious. Through play children explore social, material and imaginary worlds and their relationship with them, elaborating all the while a flexible range of responses to the challenges they encounter. By playing, children learn and develop as individuals, and as members of the community.” (Children’s Play Council 2001).

Growth Mindset Week:

During Growth Mindset week (w/c 9th February 2026), we launched our outdoor classroom with children being invited to take part in Bushcraft Activities.

The children were excited to take part in the outdoor activities which were led by experts from Herd Farm Activity Centre.
