Education Ian Thorpe - Headteacher Downsend School What does the school do to promote awareness of the countryside? We have four fantastic school sites, with green spaces in abundance, around our Games pitches and Forest/Woodland Schools. Our youngest pupils access Forest/Woodland School as part of their curriculum and at our Epsom Pre-Prep, children look after chickens. Our oldest children complete a River Studies field project based at Box Hill’s Juniper Hall. How do you try to connect students with the natural world outside the classroom? Whenever we can, we take learning outside into the natural environment. Our little ones investigate mini beasts; our scientists run with parachutes on their backs to learn more about resistance, studying birds in flight; our geographers find examples of weathering around school; and our historians re-enact the Battle of Hastings on the field. How much time do students spend outside during the school day? What outside space does the school offer? With an AstroTurf, Netball Courts and a wealth of games pitches, there is no shortage of playground spaces and sporting opportunities. In addition to the Forest School, we have our own school gardens, where children can grow fruit, vegetables and herbs. Typically our early year’s children spend 60% of their day out doors and our older Prep school children 2-3 hours a day. Are there opportunities for students to participate in field trips or extra-curricular activities that involve wildlife and its preservation? For our younger children, exploration and discovery is at the heart of their day. They visit the British Wildlife Centre and Wisley Garden as plant explorers and to see the butterflies. Locally they pond dip, pick pumpkins, and go on a ‘Bear Hunt’ at Ladyland farm. Our older children study the environment on Geography Fieldwork trips and discover new bush-craft skills at our Forest School. 01372 372311 downsendschool.co.uk Abra Stoakley - Headteacher Claremont Independent School What does the school do to promote awareness of the countryside? As we inhabit a wonderful 110 acre site here in East Sussex, Claremont’s pupils are fully immersed in the countryside throughout their school day. Furthermore, we teach our pupils about the importance of reducing our impact on the environment through the syllabuses in Geography and Science. How do you try to connect students with the natural world outside the classroom? At Claremont, we take every opportunity to engage in the natural world. Whether it is through writing haiku in our outdoor classroom by the lake; or sitting on a bank sketching the rhododendron bushes in Art; to exploring ecosystems for Science in the woods; or learning new skills in our Forest School, our pupils spend much of their time learning from nature. How much time do students spend outside during the school day? What outside space does the school offer? It is very difficult to quantify just how much time our children spend outside, but it is at least a third of the timetable. The Nursery, Pre-Prep and younger members of the Prep School enjoy weekly timetabled Forest School sessions. This is a school site on which pupils can explore World War One trenches for History, microclimates in Geography and survey-sampling in Science. Are there opportunities for students to participate in field trips or extra-curricular activities that involve wildlife and its preservation? The World Wildlife Fund is one of the school’s House charities and we have raised money for a wide variety of UK-based wildlife conservation charities. Our weekly Zoology Club raises awareness of wildlife husbandry and preservation. 01424 751555 claremontschool.co.uk wealdentimes.co.uk 150
