Outdoor Classroom @ Rhyl Primary School in London, United Kingdom

Rhyl Primary School is in Camden Town, London, in England. We believe in the power of outdoor learning, despite the fact that we are not blessed with large grounds. In fact, we have created green spaces from the most concrete of spots, including a brilliant garden in a school car park. We do a lot of learning outside, with a dedicated teacher whose responsibiity is sustainability and encouraging learning outside the classroom. We have a plot on a local community garden and an apiary at a nearby city farm.
