Education Scotland continues to provide strong support for the development of outdoor learning as an approach to learning within Curriculum for Excellence.

A range of support is also provided on health and wellbeing and outdoor learning and making best use of Scotland’s National Parks.
Education Scotland will continue to promote outdoor learning as a key pedagogical approach in line with the recommendations for the Learning for Sustainability Report.
