Outdoor Education Area officially opened
Haileybury’s brand-new Outdoor Education Area was officially opened this week, marking an exciting milestone for our school community and the continued growth of our Outdoor Adventure programme.
Set within the beautiful surroundings of Hailey Wood, the new space has been thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration, creativity, teamwork and a deeper connection with the natural world.
To mark the occasion, Lower School pupils led the celebrations with a day of hands-on discovery and outdoor fun. From den building and fire lighting to cooking hot chocolate on Kelly kettles, pupils threw themselves into every challenge with curiosity and enthusiasm.
Guests were welcomed by the Master and the Deputy Head (Co-curricular), who spoke about the exciting opportunities the new Outdoor Education Area will offer. The space will serve as a hub for outdoor learning, adventure and wellbeing and will assist pupils in building confidence, resilience and leadership skills beyond the classroom.
The celebrations came to a close with a lunch served in the outdoor kitchen, where pupils, guests and staff gathered to enjoy the delicious food right in the heart of Hailey Wood.
