Great mark for academy

A school has been recognised for the lessons it puts on outdoors.

Gosberton House Academy has been given the Learning Outside the Classroom Silver Mark thanks to the lessons it conducts in line with the programme.

Those include exploring the school’s grounds to the ‘minibeast hotel’ to the sensory garden and enjoying the tyre swings.

A spokesman for the school, said: “This is a huge achievement for the school and celebrates all the fantastic work of the children and staff within the school grounds and when attending off-site visits.

“This award highlights the progression of our school’s learning outside the classroom provision as we continue to aim to achieve the very best practice for all our children.

“LOTC Silver Mark recognises schools and settings with a strong commitment to providing frequent, continuous and progressive learning outside the classroom experiences to all pupils.”

Miss Jessica Bradbury, the school’s lead for the Learning Outside the Classroom Project, said: “We are so pleased to have achieved this award for the school and for our wonderful children as a recognition of their fantastic work not only in the classroom but also around their outdoor environment.”
