For Educators
Outdoor learning is simply another tool for teachers to use. It underpins the curriculum, helps you meet learning outcomes in real and meaningful way and is easy and affordable to deliver, in fact, it can cost less than indoor lessons!
Our team has over 30 years experience working within education. Our experience teaching and supporting children in mainstream primary schools, secondary schools, severe and complex schools and ASD units provides us with a unique perspective and ensures we understand the stresses and strains you face on a daily basis.
Our training is led by Carol Murdoch, an educational consultant and teacher with nearly 20 years experience of working within education. Carol understands the Curriculum and demands schools are under to create affordable yet stimulating experiences for both children and staff. She will work with your school to tailor make your experience days and training sessions meet your specific requirements.
