Using The Outdoor Classroom day to day

Whether it’s a curriculum lesson or orienteering, getting pupils learning outdoors takes just a few steps.

1. Choose or create

Choose from hundreds of curriculum-linked activities, create your own lesson or use the automatic course creator to generate unlimited orienteering courses around your school grounds.

2. Publish to pupils

Publish your activity in seconds for pupils to access through the web app. There’s nothing to download, making it quick and simple to get a whole class learning outdoors.

3. Learn outdoors

Pupils use their map to navigate around the school grounds, find permanent plaques and complete questions, challenges and orienteering courses as they go.

4. Review progress

Results, responses and participation are recorded automatically, giving teachers a clear picture of pupil activity and making it easy to review progress and celebrate achievement.
