Outdoor learning plays a vital role in the prep school experience, offering boys opportunities to develop resilience, teamwork, and leadership skills beyond the traditional classroom setting.
Through a diverse programme of activities pupils are encouraged to explore, problem-solve, and deepen their understanding of the world around them.
Outdoor learning not only enhances academic learning but also encourages independence, personal growth, confidence, and a spirit of discovery that stays with our boys for life.
From fieldwork and environmental studies to adventure-based challenges including survival skills and camping expeditions pupils are encouraged to think critically, work as a team, and connect with nature. Set across our extensive school ground, including a dedicated forest, outdoor classroom, enchanting tree house, the activities take full advantage of the natural environment and outstanding facilities St John’s has to offer.
Outdoor learning is one of the most eagerly anticipated aspects of school life. Boys thrive on the excitement, challenge, and sense of achievement each adventure brings, enjoying the perfect complement to academic preparation for senior school.
