Outdoor Learning
SWOT Analysis - July 2024
Strengths
-Pupil voice is very positive.
- Staff have continued to develop their positivity and skills linked to outdoor learning.
- Learning for ALN pupils has been a positive development this year with pupils and classes using the outdoor resource each week.
- Learners in Early Years have strengthened links with topics.
- Several schools have been sent to observe best practice (May and June 2024).
Weaknesses
- Some classes to not spend as much time outside as others.
- As we layer our curriculum, staff continually report upon the difficulties of 'fitting everything in.
-As we move our focus to other areas, it is important that we do not forget about all of the progress that we have made.
Opportunities
- School to school working. As we begin our school to school working with Hook we have shared knowledge which can support us to further enhance our learning opportunities.
- We have worked through year groups systematically and we can continue to do this, building our provision and experiences.
Threats
- My time - my passion for the outdoors and love of outdoor learning has always been a key driver. As my time is split across two sites I do not want to lose my focus.
-Changes in staff mean that we become distracted from some of the good work.
