At Halwill School, we are so lucky that 2.4 acres have been set aside as a ‘Wild for Learning’ space. The area includes a pond, a willow structure, a fire pit, an orchard and a wildflower meadow.
In addition, there are raised beds in which the children grow a variety of vegetables.
Outdoor learning is a fundamental aspect of the curriculum enrichment we offer because we feel it helps children build our core values, particularly: ‘Building Relationships’, ‘Being Resilient’, ‘Being Resourceful’ and of course, learning to ‘Take Care’ of the environment.
All children from Reception to Year 6 receive weekly Wild Tribe sessions in the Wild for Learning Area on a rolling programme so that each child will receive a term of Wild Tribe every year.
We are village schools set in the beautiful Devonshire countryside. We are aspirational for our children and believe that to have a fulfilling education, we must nurture children's well-being and happiness.

"I am sure Halwill’s values will be remembered by my children and many others too! They are often spoken about within my family, don’t just settle with what is easy, aim high – try and be the best “you”. When things are challenging – we say be resilient, keep trying. But most importantly, take care – show love and respect, be kind and considerate to each other."
