Tutored Modules: Primary

Fresh air and fresh thinking

Our modules - learning sessions - aim to raise awareness about topics either in or relating to the National Park. They link closely to the KS 2 National Curriculum and syllabuses. The modules enable pupils to gain practical experience of topics in the National Park and the fieldwork is enquiry-based investigation. The information gathered by pupils provides a sound basis for follow-up work back at school. Check out the links on the left for what we offer.

When working within the limitations of the classroom, and taking into account the increasing effect of virtual learning environments, it seems as fundamental as ever to take pupils outdoors as part of their overall education and development.

Time in the National Park is more that just satisfying a curriculum learning objective. A visit provides exercise, fresh air and a collective sense of place and wonder that will impact upon the pupil’s learning and personal development, whatever their age, ability or circumstances.
