Outdoors

An education fit for life cannot thrive only in the classroom. At Acorn, the outdoors have always been an important part of our curriculum. In the Lower School, this starts with weekly lessons in the fields, woods and our outdoor classroom, coupled with regular Adventure Days.

As the pupils progress through the school this extends to regular camping trips (winter as well as summer) where they learn to prepare and cook their own food, as well as traditional camp-fire singing. Each camp is different but regular activities include surfing, hill walking, orienteering and coasteering.
