Devon is great for outdoor learning!

[Jason Wood]

Living in Devon offers us so many opportunities to access the natural environment and support outdoor learning.  These range from beach schools and forest schools to local parks and footpaths. Research has shown that outdoor learning improves leadership skills, resilience and character. Many organisations offer toolkits and resources to access the outdoors and if you want some of these get in touch with us. Do you build outdoor learning into your curriculum? What do you do or what resources do you use?
