Learning that takes place away from the classroom is a very important part of the curriculum at Westfield. What better way could there be to learn about life in the Middle Ages than to visit an historic castle? Or where could you possibly find out more about yourself than when tackling the Ten Tors Jubilee Challenge on Dartmoor? Recognising the value of such off-site learning opportunities, staff at Westfield do everything they can to provide our pupils with a rich programme of activities that captures the imagination and provokes a genuine excitement for learning.

Westfield’s Outdoor Education offers a wide range of locations and activities across our beautiful county of Dorset. We work closely with Weymouth Outdoor Education Centre (WOEC) as well as Lulworth Rangers in providing excellent learning experiences for all the pupils at the school. These experiences range from team building games, river crossing, indoor caving, nature walks and much more. The pupils also have the opportunity to take part in the Jubilee Challenge event which is run alongside the Ten Tors event based in Okehampton, Dartmoor each year.
