SLT very supportive. We regularly see children learning outside (not PE)

SLT supportive in principle, but opportunities to take children out are limited

Most outdoor learning is in 'forest school' sessions, not regular core subjects

Risk/benefit issues restrict what we feel we can do.

Lack of confidence/knowledge of plants is felt to be an obstacle

The school has no, or very few plants to engage with

Please elaborate on any of the above.
