Mrs Kate Eyre Principal

Pupils at Launceston Primary will be developed to be adept at understanding the world, be able to solve practical open-ended activities and embracing of creativity - or ‘tinkering’. Tinkering and purposeful ‘play’ is an essential and phenomenal life skill to equip children with, modelled via an engaging teaching approach and carefully crafted curriculum. Immersive learning and play are at the heart of our curriculum and ethos.

Time spent in nature and natural settings influences a child’s play, learning, holistic development and connections in and to the natural world. Regular opportunities for learning outdoors results in improved confidence, risk-taking opportunities, improved health, wellness and the developing seeds of environmental stewardship and reciprocity.

In addition, opening up a world of opportunity, exploration and experiences to children underpins our values and ethos; adventure at the core.
