Forest School & Outdoor Learning
At Wombridge Primary School, we believe that outdoor learning and time in nature are essential for children’s development, well-being, and creativity. Our Forest School and outdoor learning experiences provide hands-on opportunities for children to explore, discover, and learn in a natural environment.
What is Forest School?
Forest School is a child-led approach to learning that takes place in our woodland outdoor setting. It encourages children to develop confidence, resilience, and independence through activities such as:
✔ Exploring nature and wildlife
✔ Building dens and shelters
✔ Using natural materials for crafts and creativity
✔ Developing teamwork and problem-solving skills
✔ Learning about fire safety and outdoor cooking (age-appropriate)
Why Outdoor Learning Matters
We integrate outdoor learning across the curriculum, using our school grounds and local green spaces to bring subjects to life. Whether it’s measuring in maths, storytelling in English, or investigating habitats in science, outdoor learning makes lessons more engaging and memorable.
The benefits of outdoor learning include:
🌿 Improved physical and mental well-being
🌿 Increased confidence and risk awareness
🌿 Stronger problem-solving and teamwork skills
🌿 Deeper connection with nature and environmental responsibility
🌿 Hands-on learning that enhances creativity and curiosity
At Wombridge Primary School, we are proud to offer a curriculum that extends beyond the classroom, helping children develop a love for nature, a sense of adventure, and essential life skills for the future.
Enrichment at Wombridge Primary School
Our curriculum extends beyond the National Curriculum and includes a wide range of enriching experiences and opportunities which develop academic understanding of curriculum strands and extend the range of children’s experiences. A primary focus of our curriculum is to raise aspirations, engender a sense of personal pride in achievement, and provide a purpose and relevance for learning. Our values of LEAD are reflected in the extra-curricular activities that the children partake in, ensuring they become confident and independent learners, ready for the next steps in their life.
The school takes pride in providing a highly inclusive environment, where learners demonstrate high levels of enjoyment in their education and make good progress across the curriculum. Children at all levels are helped to achieve their potential. Those who are most able are challenged and supported through being offered tasks which provide opportunities for greater depth and those who can struggle in particular aspects are encouraged and given targeted support to embed skills, to develop at their own pace or simply to learn in a style that best suits their individual needs. We believe that a consistent, high quality enrichment map supplements learning to provide life-long experiences to make concrete links to in-school learning.
Whole School Theme Days/Weeks
Throughout the year, stunning starts and themed days/weeks are woven into the curriculum to extend the breadth and balance of opportunities we offer our pupils. These include, Anti-bullying Week and Safety Day, Creative Arts Weeks, World Book Day, Black History Day, Sport & Health Week, Science Events, School community fairs, National Poetry Days and others over the academic year.
Educational Visits and Residentials
School trips and visits are an integral part of the education of children at Wombridge Primary. We value the opportunities such visits offer our pupils and ensure that our children are able to experience the range of experiences that Shropshire offers. Trips include class visits aimed at bringing learning alive and providing first-hand experience for our children – making connections with learning through their time at primary school. Extra-curricular outings such as activities with the school choir, sporting events and attending or taking part in performances or competitions supplement the experiences that children can partake within the school day. Year 6 are given the opportunity to go on a residential, where they learn important team building skills and build resilience and character. A huge sense of belonging is embedded in these activities, as children become proud of their school, the values we hold and the team that has been created.
Visitors into School
Visitors have a valuable role to play and can contribute to many aspects of the life and work of the school. They deliver talks, workshops and full day activities across a wide range of subjects, giving pupils access to outside experiences and expertise.
PE & Sport
At Wombridge Primary children are exposed to a range of extra-curricular lessons such as afterschool sports clubs, morning sports clubs, athlete day/ visit, the daily Mile, games mark competitions (football tournament, dodgeball tournament), chance to shine cricket, opportunities to perform at Telford Dance and and inspire events ran by TWSPP (Arthog team building, swimming gala event, T1 rugby tournament to see the Women’s World Cup)
Music, Art & Drama
At Wombridge, we provide opportunities for children to take part in a wide range of musical activities and performances where they are encouraged to sing, compose and work creatively with sound. Through active listening, pupils’ awareness, understanding and appreciation of a wide variety of music are developed. A range of opportunities are provided within and beyond the curriculum for children to showcase their musical skills and talents, for example in class assemblies and end of term performances. The children are exposed to live music being performed from Partnership school’s music departments. These performances include a range of genres of music and instruments. The children are given the opportunity to learn how to play a range of instruments, including the guitar, piano and recorder. Musical theatre club is offered to all children and performances are given each term. Dance club is offered to children, and the children have the opportunity to dance at local events and take part in dance competitions. Our choir performs regularly at different events including, church services, carol concerts, light switch on days and the military day in the local town centre. Our art is celebrated across the school by joining art competitions and displaying our art to show the excellent creativity the children have.
Assemblies
A rounded programme of weekly assemblies helps to promote pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, and provide a sense of community across the school. At the end of each term an assembly is held to celebrate the achievements and attendance of our pupils and promote a sense of pride in academic achievement. Weekly star of the week is led by the head teacher and other achievements in enrichment are celebrated and rewarded.
Homework
Homework can make an important contribution to a child’s progress at school. As well as reinforcing learning in the classroom, homework helps children to develop the skills and attitudes they will need for successful independent lifelong learning. Homework is set with tasks planned to appropriately challenge all pupils. Weekly activities focus on spelling and numeracy to reinforce and consolidate skills taught and is shared on Class Dojo. Homework can be set online using Purple Mash or may be a specific project related to a child’s topic. Homework is given weekly and the children given ample time to complete it. They are also given opportunities to complete their homework with their teacher if they are struggling.

Promoting British Values at Wombridge Primary School
We are committed to promoting British values as part of our broad and balanced curriculum. We ensure that our pupils develop a strong understanding of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. These values are woven into our school ethos, daily teaching, and wider school life.
How We Embed British Values in Our Curriculum:
✔ Democracy – Pupils learn about democracy through school council elections, debates, and pupil voice initiatives. They are encouraged to express their views and understand the importance of fairness and decision-making.
✔ The Rule of Law – We teach children the importance of rules and laws in school and society. Through class charters, behaviour expectations, and visits from local authorities such as the police, pupils learn about rights, responsibilities, and the consequences of their actions.
✔ Individual Liberty – Children are encouraged to make choices in a safe and supportive environment. We teach them about their rights, personal freedoms, and how to make informed decisions, particularly in areas such as online safety and well-being.
✔ Mutual Respect – Respect is at the heart of our school values. We promote positive relationships, teamwork, and kindness through PSHE, assemblies, and our day-to-day school culture. Pupils learn to listen to others, appreciate differences, and treat everyone with respect.
✔ Tolerance of Different Faiths and Beliefs – Our RE and PSHE curriculum ensures that children learn about different religions, cultures, and traditions. We celebrate diversity through themed events, guest speakers, and visits to places of worship, fostering a respectful and inclusive school community.
By embedding these values throughout our curriculum and school life, we prepare our pupils to become responsible, respectful, and active members of modern British society.
