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

Learn new skills and a love of sailing in partnership with instructors at our local sailing clubs.

The John Muir Award

Engage in conservation and outdoor exploration while connecting with nature.

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
  • Teamwork and communication
  • Confidence in a calm, sensory-friendly space
  • A deeper connection to nature

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

  • Cycling, climbing, orienteering and sailing (in partnership with local clubs)

At East Street Farm, we recognise that spending time outside supports both physical and mental wellbeing.
