Learning Beyond the Classroom 

LOtC lead- Mrs L Stokes 

"The best classroom and the richest cupboard is roofed only by the sky" Margaret McMillan.

Learning beyond the classroom (LOtC) is an essential and fundamental part of life at Mount Pleasant and plays a key role in how we deliver a broad, balanced and inspiring curriculum, that is greatly enriched through a wide variety of experiences. We are passionate about creating real, hands-on experiences that motivate and excite children, making learning more engaging, meaningful and memorable.

Real world experiences support and deepen children's understanding.

"This matters because what young people learn outdoors stays with them. When they're challenged, supported and trusted in real environments, they discover confidence, resilience and connection that can't be taught on a screen. They find their voice. They realise that anything is possible."

Martin Davidson CEO the Outward Bound Trust.
