Improve your outdoor learning practice

Once your outdoor space is set up, develop a programme that makes full use of it. This is useful for climate education, and across the wider curriculum.

Establish an outdoor learning programme

Building on the outdoor learning activities you’ve been conducting and the feedback you’ve collected from relevant stakeholders, create a long term, structured programme. Use the challenges and lessons you’ve learnt from this experience as an opportunity to improve the future provision.

Seek feedback on the outdoor learning programme from staff, learners and parents

Gather input from your staff, parents and learners on your outdoor learning programme, including any action you have taken to promote learning outside in nature. This should build on previous times you have requested feedback, focussing more on the overarching programme as a whole.

Embed outdoor learning into the culture and ethos of your setting

Review how you integrate outdoor activities and experiences into daily routines and educational practices. You might look at the frequency of outdoor activities, integration levels across different subjects, your numbers of trained staff and their levels of expertise, learners’ engagement time, and inclusion in school policy and strategy documents.
