IOL South & Channel Islands

Outdoor learning and play must be at the heart of conversations and planning around the reopening of our schools. This National Network for Outdoor Learning, composed of outdoor learning professionals across Scotland, can readily provide practical advice, resourcing and training for teachers and educators organising learning outdoors with COVID-19 restrictions in place.

Invasion will be sending out expression of interest forms to anyone who was contracted to deliver NCS this Summer.

IOL is pleased to have contributed to and positively supports the Post Covid-19 Recovery Plan for the outdoor sector in Wales. Compiled by members of the Outdoor Alliance Wales, the document describes a coordinated ‘pathway to recovery’ to enable people to return to outdoor recreation and provider-led outdoor activity, in line with current regulations.

The leading governing bodies and associations involved in helping schools take teaching and learning beyond the classroom have united to set out an ambitious but simple plan to help schools adapt their lessons, curriculum and learning environments. When schools are ready, we are here to support them to re-open to more pupils, by helping them enable high quality learning experiences in school grounds, local spaces and home environments, and to support pupils transition between these different learning environments.
