Outdoor Learning

What is our Outdoor Learning and Outdoor Education Provision?

Our outdoor learning provision offers children and young people hands-on experiences in nature. Through activities like bushcraft, wildlife exploration, orienteering, and team-building challenges, participants build essential life skills such as resilience, problem-solving, and cooperation. Engaging with the outdoors enhances physical health, mental well-being, and fosters a deeper connection to the natural environment.

By providing a dynamic, active learning environment, we support the development of core competencies aligned with Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence, including: • Successful Learners • Confident Individuals • Responsible Citizens • Effective Contributors

What Skills are learned?

Resilience One of the best tools in our armoury for outdoor sports and recreation is getting people out of their comfort zone to help them achieve.

Physical, Mental and Emotional Wellbeing Outdoor activities such as cycling, walking, and paddling can dramatically improve physical health and wellbeing.

Team Building Helping young people and children build vital relationships with their peers and enable them to develop essential social tools to take into adolescence.

Confidence and Self Esteem Testing new skills in a new environment around peers can be a healthy way to discover more about the pupils themselves.
