'Estuary Education' Featuring Our 'Estuary Explorers'

We are so excited to launch our brand new 'Estuary Education' Outdoor Learning offer! We are so very lucky to be able to learn and work with our children in a school that is situated on the doorstep of the beautiful Loughor Estuary and within walking distance of an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Special Scientific Interest. This page is dedicated to providing our community with all of the information about this amazing opportunity. We will be sharing with you our experiences and we hope you enjoy finding out about what our children have been learning. Diolch!
