Wider Learning

At Armathwaite School, we believe that learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our approach to wider learning provides children with rich, diverse experiences that inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for lifelong learning. Through trips and visits, students engage with the wider world, enhancing their understanding of different cultures, environments, and industries. Assemblies offer opportunities for reflection, celebration, and discussion of important themes, while Philosophy for Children (P4C) encourages deep thinking, questioning, and respectful debate.

We are committed to fostering global awareness through our focus on the Global Goals, helping children understand their role in shaping a sustainable and fair future. Student Voice is central to our ethos, empowering children to take an active role in decision-making and school life. Our dedication to learning outdoors provides hands-on experiences in nature, reinforcing environmental awareness, problem-solving, and well-being.

Through these experiences, we nurture confident, compassionate, and inquisitive learners who are prepared for the world beyond school.
