The award winning 'National Curriculum Outdoors: a complete scheme of work' series of books provide an opportunity for a whole school approach to outdoor learning. 

The series provides progression in knowledge and skills across the key stages  and is clearly linked to the National Curriculum objectives.

The books can be purchased directly from Bloomsbury and other book retailers. 

Based on (and extending) the progressions in Bloomsbury's National Curriculum Outdoors series of books, this whole day practical training day is delivered by the co-author Deborah Lambert herself. 

Trying out new ideas from the new series, participants will explore a range of practical activities to build staff confidence to deliver outdoor learning in your own setting.

The National Curriculum Outdoors series of books have been written  by Deborah Lambert,  Michelle Roberts (and her guest writers) and Sue Waite and have a foreword  written by Juliet Robertson.
