These sessions are regular opportunities for children to explore the outdoors.The sessions are paved by the children’s interests and each session is reflected upon to help navigate future sessions. There may be activities running during the session for children to join in with or they may choose to follow their interests in playing on a rope swing, climbing a tree or investigating the site.

Things to note
PSHE at Gretton
Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) development is at the heart of everything they do here at Gretton and is woven throughout the whole curriculum. The overarching term personal development includes PSHE including Relationships and Sex Education (RSE), SMSC (including British Values), Preparation for Adulthood and Careers development.Within these two webpages (PSHE & SMSC) we have tried to capture all the wonderful things that they do at Gretton to support the personal development of our learners. As a school, academic studies are incredibly important to us, but the bit we get really excited about is when they see a learner achieving their academic potential because of all their ongoing personal development: their emotional regulation, their reflective practice, their understanding of the wider world and their own aspirations for the future.
