Welcome to our Beach School webpage, where we celebrate the exciting opportunity for our children to engage in outdoor learning in the stunning coastal environment right on our doorstep.
Beach School offers a unique approach to education, blending traditional classroom learning with hands-on experiences in the natural world. Taking inspiration from the Forest School ethos, Beach School allows children to explore the wonders of the coastal environment, fostering a deep connection with nature while developing important life skills such as teamwork, resilience, being safe by the seaside and creativity.
