‘Foundations for…Outside Learners’
At the Academy of Cuxton Schools, we believe that Learning Outside the Classroom is at the heart of our entire curriculum. It is part of our ‘foundations for life’ to help children understand and develop themselves, understand others and to understand the world. We explore and make connections outside through all aspects of our learning: we ask questions and use the wider community to build on our understanding,
we show care and respect for all things and people and we are inspired and motivated by our wider world.
A Cuxton we believe that LOTC activities arranged by our school supplement and enrich our curriculum providing experiences that would otherwise be impossible. All our LOTC experiences provide an educational purpose, enhancing and enriching our learning through real-life learning and hands- on activities.
“We collected ingredients for our mud kitchen recipes”
“We explored the capacity of different containers”
“We visited the library and watched a story about a woodlouse”
“We made story sticks to help us with our structure when we wrote our stories. I looked at it and it reminded me what to do.”
“Year 4 line dancing afternoon to celebrate our learning of the USA”
