Save Stubbington: Ex-Headteachers Launch Campaign to Preserve Outdoor Education Centre
A passionate group of former headteachers has initiated a campaign to save the Stubbington study centre, a beloved outdoor education centre near Gosport, from closure. The centre, threatened by Hampshire County Council's proposal to repurpose the site for a specialist secure children's home, has been a staple for environmental education and outdoor learning. With a consultation currently underway, the community is rallying to preserve this vital resource, emphasizing the importance of outdoor education and its impact on children's development, including enhanced learning experiences and improved mental health. The campaign aims to raise awareness and garner support to keep the centre open, ensuring future generations can continue to benefit from its unique programs and facilities, which foster a deeper connection with nature and promote sustainability.
