PARTNER FEATURE: Pendle View Primary School

Pendle View Primary School in Colne, is a community Special School for children who have special educational needs

Pendle View Primary School provides a special approach to education for children with a wide range of additional needs. They have developed their school’s facilities, resources, specialisms and staff expertise to meet the needs of their school population and to achieve high expectations for all pupils.

The second ReWild Yourself Community Hub is in close proximity to Pendle View Primary School.

We are working closely with the school to create a welcoming, inclusive and accessible space for both the students and the local community.

Over one hundred pupils from the school helped us plant 3500 trees for the second ERANDA Forest planting on a warm, spring day in May 2025.

We will work closely with and facilitate the implementation of the ideas gathered during planting day, and have the Pendle Hub be truly shaped by the community, for the community.

Benefits of having a space to connect with Nature at school:

When children connect with Nature, significant improvements to physical and psychological health are observed. Exposure to Nature in a school day has been observed to improve emotional regulation, as well as social development.

It’s not just about time in Nature, it’s about the right moments. Several studies have shown a correlation between increased Nature-connection and pro-environmental behaviour. Which is why part of the project invites students from the school to take part in the ReWild Yourself Community Programme, a programme created to foster and nourish quality moments with Nature.
