Wild Tribe
Aiming to Enable, Enrich, and Inspire
Wild Tribe brings outdoor learning to every class across the school, giving children the chance to explore, discover, and grow in a natural environment. By learning outside the classroom, children retain the structure and thoughtfulness of school while developing independence and confidence. They deepen their understanding of the natural world, woodland habitats, and the spiritual, historical, biological, and mythological significance of their surroundings. Activities are linked to the National Curriculum and EYFS Framework and are tailored to complement classroom topics and seasonal themes.
Through Wild Tribe, children develop empathy and respect for the world around them, follow their curiosity, and learn to approach challenges with confidence and courage. For Barn Owls class, Welly Wednesday provides a weekly opportunity to put these skills into practice—exploring the outdoors, solving problems, and working together in meaningful, hands-on experiences.
