National Curriculum
We believe that outdoor learning provides a wider educational experience than can be defined within the narrow parameters of the national curriculum. However, we also appreciate that you need to be able to identify which specific elements of the national curriculum will be covered during your educational visit with us to facilitate both your pre- and post-visit lesson planning.
Our activities are cross-curricular in nature and focus on elements of several different subjects. To avoid a one size fits all approach, we have included only those links which are the most relevant and specific. However, should a more in-depth assessment of all possible links be required, we would be happy to provide this. Equally, we are happy to tailor any of our activities to your specified areas of the national curriculum. We can, for example, base an entire visit on A Contrasting Locality (Geography), WW2 (History) or Habitats (Science).
In addition to the links shown, all of our activities cover several areas of the national curriculum for PSHE at Key Stages 1 and 2, and Citizenship and PSHE at Key Stage 3. For brevity, those links are not shown for each activity but can be provided if requested. A brief summary of the Key Stage 2 links is provided below:
Key Stage 2 PSHE
- developing confidence and responsibility and making the most of their abilities
- preparing to play an active role as citizens
- developing a healthy, safer lifestyle
- developing good relationships and respecting the differences between people.
