A person wearing an outdoor fleece, woolly hat and gloves is standing in the woods under a green tarpaulin. He is smiling at the camera and holding up a square frame to his face, that has been made from sticks, using string to lash them together at the corners.

Outdoor learning isn’t a trend. It’s part of the answer.

Schools are under pressure and staff are stretched. Outdoor learning won’t fix everything - but it can change the rhythm of learning.

If 2026 is the year to try something different, join our #ForestSchoolLeader course.

An OutLET staff member is kneeling on the ground in the woods with two young people. He is watching as the young people work together to split wood using an axe and mallet. The young person on the left is holding the axe, while the one on the right holds the mallet. They are splitting a log which is being held in place on the ground in between them.

The best thing about our #ForestSchoolLeader training?

Our trainers are still doing the work.

Working with young people every week in schools, woodlands & communities - so what we know about support needs, trauma & regulation comes from real practice.

A group of 10 adults are standing together in the woods, huddled into a photoframe they have made from tree branches and smiling at the camera.

“I wish I’d done this sooner.”

We hear this again and again:

Our training isn’t about perfection. It’s about confidence, clarity and real-world application.
