Challenging Our Students – The Spirit of Adventure 

We are firm believers that learning happens everywhere, not just in the classroom. That’s why we offer our students the chance to take part in the John Muir Award. This programme encourages them to step outside their comfort zone and discover the beauty of nature with excitement and curiosity. By participating in outdoor activities, wilderness expeditions, and nature-based challenges, our students gain valuable skills like resilience and problem-solving, while also developing a deep appreciation for the natural world. We love seeing our students thrive and grow with us at Ingfield Manor School! 

Promoting Awareness and Responsibility 

As we embark on our journey with the John Muir Award, our students will be encouraged to become responsible stewards of the environment. Our students will dive into tons of exciting conservation and environmental projects that will empower them to make a real difference in the world around them. From lending a helping hand to our local habitats, to reducing waste and spreading the word about sustainability, this programme will instil a powerful sense of responsibility for our planet and its precious resources. 

A Structured yet Adaptable Scheme 

It’s totally adaptable to each student’s needs and abilities! The programme has four levels—Discover, Explore, Conserve, and Share—that set achievable milestones for our students along the way. With this structured framework, our students can track their progress and feel a sense of accomplishment. It’s a great way to encourage our students to get outside and explore the world around them. 

Embracing Fun and Exploration with John Muir Awards

At Ingfield Manor School, we believe that learning should be a joyful and exhilarating experience. The John Muir Award embraces this belief wholeheartedly. Our students will embark on thrilling adventures, such as nature walks, camping trips, wildlife spotting, and more, all while having fun and building lifelong memories with their peers. 

A Journey to Remember 

This isn’t just about academic growth, but about emotional and social growth too! By immersing themselves in nature, our students will gain an even deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. And the best part? This award will ignite a passion for the environment that will stay with them for years to come. Get ready for an unforgettable experience!
