Escape into Learning

Taking education outside the classroom and into the playground through training, experiences and support!

Join Now

Welcome to Love Outdoor Learning

Learning is not simply contained within the four walls of a classroom; it can happen anywhere!  

Our award winning methods were developed through years of working within education and a wealth of training and knowledge developed within the outdoor environment. We understand how to create exciting and engaging sessions to help children grow, learn and develop and build staff confidence in delivering lessons outdoors.

We love working with all educational settings, from mainstream to severe and complex, nursery through primary and onto secondary. We create bespoke programmes to help your staff take learning into the playground, woodland or beyond!

Find Out About Pupil Experiences

“As a teacher, I quickly discovered the benefits of taking learning into the playground and beyond.  Suddenly those who struggled indoors flourished, the children communicated more and enjoyed learning in new and exciting ways.  That confidence and enthusiasm even transferred to indoor learning.”

Carol Murdoch,
Founder of Love Outdoor Learning

Find Out About Us

Training

Every school is unique, the challenges and demands they face vary .  As teachers, we spent too many hours in training which did not meet our needs.  This is why every training session is designed in consultation with you, to ensure you receive everything you need.

Whether training covers a twilight session, full day inset or even ongoing with our integrated programme, the support does not stop there. You then benefit from a full 12 months of access to our innovative members site* to support staff, providing curriculum maps, lesson ideas, training and more.  This also provides you with an additional four hours of consultancy to help support any problems or issues that arise throughout the course of the year, ensuring outdoor learning really does become a tool supporting your learners.

Pupil Experiences

From pupil experience days, whole school days and even intervention programmes, we have something to benefit children of all ages and stages.  

Our workshops are fun, informative and can be delivered in your school grounds.

Our innovative integration programme helps children understand their thoughts and feelings, teaching them coping strategies, breathing techniques while undertaking outdoor skills which will build their confidence, resilience and team working skills.

We also provide regular woodland sessions to classes to help them take their learning outdoors.

Carol has been a great help and support to our school to move us forward in our Outdoor learning Journey. Initial discussions led to a playground assessment which over the past year has increased our confidence as a staff to take learning outside as well as learning from the outdoors. She came to visit us a year on last term to see our progress and offer further advice. We are using the progression to slot ideas into our existing progressions which is helping staff see that Outdoor Learning is not an ‘extra’ but an essential way to enhance learning and teaching. Thanks Love Outdoor learning.
