Outdoor Leanring Curriculum 

At Hopescourt School, our Outdoor Learning curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, build resilience, and promote independence through purposeful experiences in the classroom, on the school site, and in the wider community. Our curriculum enables students to: 

Learning With Courage - Problem-solve, work as part of a team, and face new challenges with resilience. 

Strive Through Ambition - Collaborate, take responsibility, and develop leadership, communication, and decision-making skills for future success. 

Become Future Ready - Gain confidence in real-world situations by managing risk, staying safe, and contributing positively to their environment. 

Outdoor Learning at Hopescourt develops practical skills and creative exploration of the natural world. Pupils learn navigation and map-reading, practise orienteering, and explore local community spaces. They also take part in photography, observe seasonal changes, and create outdoor crafts, building both environmental awareness and creativity. These experiences strengthen problem-solving, adaptability, and independence—preparing learners for academic success, adulthood, and life beyond school.
