LaneBeach School
Being a Beach School offers an exciting opportunity to incorporate the beach as an additional learning environment. This enables our children to learn through the natural world offering them first hand experiences.
We aim for the children to not only learn about the environment but also learn about themselves, their peers, teamwork and self-reliance.
All children visit the beach at least once a term to extend their Year group curriculum but also follow a specific beach curriculum.
