Welcome!
We believe that young people should have access to frequent, continuous and progressive experiences in the school grounds, educational visits further afield, and residentials, and that these experiences should be utilised as a tool for teaching, learning and delivering the curriculum.
This blog aims to support teaching and learning outside of the classroom.If you are interested in writing for us, please email Emily Carlill at emily.carlill@lotc.org.uk.
