As part of our Bespoke Curriculum Offer, all children will have the opportunity to attend a block of Beach School Sessions. 

Our aim is to support children to develop a deep love and respect for our beautiful Welsh coast. 

Beach School is a unique educational experience. It is a process that offers children and young people regular opportunities to achieve and to develop confidence and self esteem. This is accomplished through hands-on learning experiences in a beach environment which is carefully planned and risk assessed. We will experience the beach throughout the different seasons; on some occasions for example in high wind or storms we will have to review safety procedures before making a decision if it is safe.

Beaches are an exciting and inspirational environment to learn and our aim is to help our children to develop lifelong skills about caring for the environment from such an early age, in a safe, fun and engaging way.

Its 'principle purpose' is to tailor make an educational curriculum to a child’s preferred learning style, taking into account his / her state of well-being and previous experiences.
