Purpose Built Outdoor Areas
If you have some unused natural space with your school grounds we can help you to create an ideal purpose built area for outdoor learning for your school.
This can be offered as a stand-alone service or it can be incorporated into an Outdoor Learning contract and the area can be created alongside us delivering sessions with your children. This is a great option as it will be incorporated into the learning programme for no additional cost. This will also create more learning opportunities for your children who will help build the area, developing skills as they go. The children can also be proud when they see the finished area, knowing they have helped making it.

They have enjoyed lighting fires, learning about nature, making dens and cooking cake in a cup. His approach is no nonsense, caring and very professional. We have learnt so much and it is a real breath of fresh air in these modern times.
