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
Cycling and Walking
Explore scenic trails and local wildlife in a fun, active way to develop healthy minds and bodies.
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:
- Problem-solving and independence

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