Spending time outdoors can play an important role in children’s wellbeing, learning, confidence and development.

However, busy routines, safety concerns and limited access to outdoor space can make it harder for families, schools and carers to prioritise time in nature.

Our latest guide shares simple, practical ideas to help children reconnect with the natural world, including:
• Noticing wildlife during everyday routines
• Taking familiar activities outside
• Creating mini adventures
• Growing plants or building nature at home
• Using technology to identify birdsong, insects and wildlife
• Supporting older children with independence and sensible risk-taking

With realistic ideas for all ages, the guide helps make outdoor time feel accessible, enjoyable and worthwhile.

☀️ Hot Weather Uniform Update ☀️

Children may attend school in their PE kits for the rest of the week. Jumpers and blazers are not required.

Please ensure children bring a named water bottle, sun hat and named sun cream (applied at home before school) so they can apply during the day if needed.

Year 2: Children visiting Attingham Park tomorrow should wear school uniform (no jumpers or cardigans required) to help staff identify pupils and keep the group safe during the visit.

Thank you for your continued support. ☀️💧🧢

This year, our children have had the wonderful opportunity to take part in the ‘A New School Journey’ scheme with Travel Telford. Through activities such as walking and biking to school, engaging workshops, creative poster competitions, and inspiring assemblies, the programme has had a noticeably positive impact on children's confidence, wellbeing, and understanding of sustainable travel.

We would be most grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey here: https://online1.snapsurveys.com/30og7u

We appreciate your time and your ongoing support in helping us enrich the experiences we provide beyond the classroom. It really has been fantastic and we would love to get as many feeding back as possible.
