Farney Close School Outdoor Learning Facility

Sussex

Farney Close School Outdoor Learning Facility has opened in Sussex with a funding boost of £22,800 from Wooden Spoon. This project, aimed at providing students with a unique outdoor learning environment, is set to have a significant impact on the school community.

The new outdoor facility, formally opened in July, was generously donated by Wooden Spoon Charity and serves as a versatile space for Farney Close School. The facility will be utilised by Forest Schools, supporting alternative learning approaches for students, and will be available to the entire school as a refreshing alternative to traditional classroom learning. Beyond academic purposes, the space also doubles as an evening activity hub, offering students a comfortable setting to gather and watch movies.

Farney Close School expressed its deep gratitude for the Wooden Spoon Charity’s generous support, which has made this innovative learning space possible.

By funding this project, Wooden Spoon Charity continues its commitment to creating life-changing opportunities for children and young people across the UK and Ireland. This outdoor learning facility exemplifies Wooden Spoon’s dedication to enhancing education through projects that promote hands-on learning and community connection.
