Enrichment
At East Street Farm, we believe learning goes beyond the classroom. Our enrichment programme offers hands-on, outdoor and creative experiences that enable students to try new things and enjoy time outdoors.
Outdoor Adventures

Sailing in the Solent

The John Muir Award

Outdoor Learning
Students explore the natural world through activities like shelter-building, bushcraft, horticulture, nature art and conservation. Outdoor learning helps to develop:

We also offer the John Muir Award, promoting environmental responsibility and outdoor exploration.
