Michelle Roberts

Michelle Roberts is co-author of The Sustainability and Climate Change Curriculum Outdoors at KS2 and the National Curriculum Outdoors – a complete scheme of work  (KS1 to Y6) series of books published by Bloomsbury Education (2020) which provides a timely support to help teachers to grow their confidence in teaching outside and to see  the potential for curriculum learning in any outdoor environment. 

There are five books in the series: Key Stage 1, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and  Year 6 which provides an opportunity for a whole school approach to outdoor learning. 

Michelle and her team provided the English, science, history and music units for the series.  

The latest (2024) in the series, Sustainability and Climate Change Curriculum Outdoors, provides a handbook for teachers, with key information and a model  science & geography curriculum to be delivered outdoors. 

Michelle wrote the LKS2 units and lesson progressions for chapter 5 and, with co author Deborah Lambert,  chapter 2 about whole school sustainability leadership.

Michelle was involved with the Natural Connections demonstration project,  supporting teachers to embed outdoor learning in schools in Cornwall.  

Michelle is an assistant headteacher and Director of Arena Sports Partnership, founder of the outdoor learning  programme 'Wild Tribe' which delivers training and resources for  teachers with an emphasis on engaging with the curriculum outdoors.
