Petition Reform the curriculum to prioritise outdoor learning and the outdoor environment

We want the Government to prioritise opportunities for learning outdoors and learning about the outdoor environment in the national curriculum. We advocate for more hours to be dedicated and made mandatory for outdoor learning in state schools across England.

More details

Outdoor learning can foster holistic development, enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It can cultivate essential life skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and environmental stewardship. Prioritising this and making it mandatory in the curriculum could provide equitable access for all children, regardless of background.
