We provide a Worldclass Outdoor Education service which supports children and young people to flourish through a purpose-built provision.

Through our curriculum programs, we are committed to supporting children and young people by developing a service which has strong links between the outdoor experience and the school curriculum. We offer sessions for early years through to key Stage Four. These sessions are designed to embed specifications within the national curriculum across a range of subjects. Through authentic learning experiences within the outdoor environment.

From first Nature to Monsters in Miniature, through to Wild about Maths river study and invertebrate sampling, we can help you bring learning to life.

We have a range of courses and qualifications to equip practitioners and teachers with the skills, experience and knowledge to deliver outdoor learning in a safe, effective and valuable way. Our Wilderness Therapy Practitioner Courses upskill practitioners with recognised and established therapeutic interventions tailored for key Stage One through to adult programs are designed to enable schools and organisations to enhance the emotional health and well being through increased understanding of emotional needs and the use of therapeutic approaches. The Learning Beyond the Classroom practitioner course provides practical skills required to deliver the national curriculum beyond the classroom. This means across all subject areas and not just the ones you may expect. Why not learn how maths and English lessons can come alive in the outdoors?

Our Wild Passport course equips the practitioners to deliver a five year outdoor learning curriculum taking learners from the very foundations of woodland skills right through to an advanced level. Forest School Leader training is aimed at those specifically working with children. In EYFS, practitioners will be qualified to deliver a child centre learning process. This develops confidence and self-esteem through learner hands on experiences, play exploration and risk taking in a natural setting.

Our Bespoke apprenticeship Pathways enable schools and other educational organisations to develop their own in house specialist to lead on and embed outdoor education within their setting. The level Five Outdoor Learning Specialist course equips practitioners with a range of technical and subject specific outdoor educational competences as well as a recognised QTLS. The key benefit of this route is that you can have a fully qualified and experienced practitioner in your setting at no cost. The only commitment is a day's release per week.
