Land Based Studies (LBS) at Oak Lodge School

Land Based Studies provides pupils with the chance to gain practical, hands-on experience in working with the natural environment. This subject introduces learners to areas such as animal care, horticulture, countryside management, and sustainable practices.

Through a balance of practical activities and classroom learning, pupils develop essential skills in problem-solving, responsibility, and teamwork, while also building an understanding of how land-based industries support communities and the wider world.

This subject encourages respect for the environment and promotes awareness of sustainability, conservation, and food production. Pupils are given the opportunity to learn outdoors and work with tools and equipment.
