Outdoor Learning

Our school's unique location near Lough Lannagh and the beautiful surroundings of Marsh House provides exceptional opportunities for outdoor learning. The ever-changing landscape offers a dynamic classroom where nature itself becomes the teacher.

Our younger classes delight in exploring the rich biodiversity around us, discovering firsthand how the seasons transform the environment. In autumn, they marvel at the golden leaves drifting from the trees, the clusters of blackberries ripening in the hedgerows, and the swirling flocks of starlings creating mesmerizing patterns in the evening sky. Winter brings crisp air and the chance to observe how nature slows down, while spring bursts with new life as birds return and flowers bloom. By summer, the children excitedly identify butterflies, buzzing bees, and the vibrant greenery that flourishes in the warm sunshine.

The scenic setting of Marsh House further enhances these experiences, with its towering trees, and the gentle sounds of local wildlife. Here, our students develop a deep appreciation for the natural world, fostering curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning beyond the classroom walls.
