Taste of the great outdoors

Worcester Editorial 13th Jun, 2021   0

YOUNGSTERS at a Worcester primary school have been learning about creating a sustainable environment in a recently transformed outdoor learning area funded by Sanctuary Homes.

The grounds at Cranham Primary School in Warndon are now neatly zoned with new fencing and a separate woodland area for pupils to enjoy different aspects of nature during their forest school lessons and lunchtime activities.

Delivered through Sanctuary’s MORE! programme, the project aims to supports local community projects in places where it is building new homes. As part of the programme, Midwest Landscaping provided their time, skills and resources to install the fencing.

The school garden will include recycling and composting zones where teachers can help the children connect with nature and understand more about the environment.




Headteacher Nick Cale, said: “I’m really pleased to see all of the children enjoying the great outdoors.

“Learning outdoors really enhances our curriculum and it gives the children opportunities to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the world.”


Colleen Eccles, Sanctuary’s head of place shaping, added: “This outdoor learning area transformation is a wonderful example of how we can add extra value in the communities where we build new homes.

“Connecting with nature is such an important learning experience and I hope that the pupils of Cranham Primary School will enjoy the new facilities for many years to come.”
