Our Unique Environment
An incredible resource full of hidden treasures.
Whether it’s learning to read in the dappled shade of a tree, perfecting the butterfly stroke under the sliding roof of our pool or harvesting strawberries from the Secret Garden, we take great joy from our unique environment.
expansive grounds
Our expansive grounds here at Great Walstead mean that we have a huge outdoor classroom, which is in constant use. Home to nature trails, eco-school and our own cross-country routes, our woods are the soul of our school.
SECRET garden
Our Secret Garden is just five minutes from the main school site. It’s the central hub for Outdoor Education and an open resource to every department in the school.
LIBRARY
As the children learn to read, which is a vital part of the Pre-Prep journey, they discover the magic of stories in our welcoming library, a calm space filled with colour, comfort and curiosity. Here they can relax in the cosy corner, explore a world of books and begin a lifelong love of reading. A dedicated Pre-Prep library will open early next year.
What’s Mud π all about?
From erosion in action on the edge of a stream to peaceful poetry under a tree we maximise our environment, bringing lessons to life.
