School Outdoor Learning
Outdoor ClassroomsInspiring and enabling schools to connect with the outdoors for teaching and learning – providing resources, teacher training and creative installations.
Where Education Meets Adventure! Whatever the size and scale of your grounds and ambitions, we work in partnership with your school to achieve three aims: 1. Reclaim areas of your grounds that are not used to their full potential. 2. Install facilities and resources for teaching, learning and play in these areas. 3. Equip staff with the skills, confidence and resources to use the new facilities to their full potential. So whether you have 100 acres of woodland or half an acre of tarmac SOuL can work with your whole school community to help you connect teaching and learning with your outdoor environment.

Students will also be scored and assessed on their team working skills together with their ability to lead and manage themselves through a fun, challenging and complex journey in the outdoors. The 3/4 winning teams from each regional competition will then be invited to attend a national final event to find the top team from all competing schools. There will be 3 age groups as follows:
1. Year groups 3 and 4 (to come later – not in 2016) 2. Year groups 5 and 6 3. Year groups 7 and 8 Through careful use of remote supervision, participants have maximum ownership of the challenge and become immersed in the adventure. These events bring together a wonderful mix of team spirit and adventure in some inspiring places. |
