Outdoor Learning, Offsite Visits and Learning Outside the Classroom can all have a positive impact on young people’s learning and development. In this folder are a number of key documents that provide evidence for Schools and Children’s Services on the outcomes that well-organised Outdoor Learning, Offsite Visits and LOtC can achieve – including improvements to academic achievement, personal development and behaviour. Some of these documents are several years old, but we have included them for the useful perspective that they bring.
