Our learning facilities

Hidden within the woodlands at Bridgewater is Woodland Play, a dedicated space that champions all aspects of ‘wild play’ in a series of zoned glades with adventure play equipment. Having fun and learning outdoors is increasingly important, with young people spending more and more time using technology and screens each day. With this in mind Woodland Play encourages students to explore, discover and play together, improving their health and wellbeing.
