Outdoor Learning and Educational Visits Advisory Service
Outdoor learning and educational visits play a vital role in enriching the curriculum, developing character, and bringing learning to life. At Voyage Education Partnership, our outdoor learning offer is led and delivered by an experienced team of Educational Visits Advisers and National Governing Body (NGB) qualified outdoor learning practitioners, with extensive practical and strategic experience across schools and trusts.
Our team combines deep knowledge of national guidance with real-world expertise in planning, leading and managing visits and outdoor learning programmes. We work alongside schools to ensure learning outside the classroom is safe, inclusive, well‑led and educationally purposeful, while remaining enabling rather than restrictive. From curriculum-linked outdoor learning to adventurous activities and residential visits, our advice, training and support is grounded in best practice and informed professional judgement, giving leaders and staff the confidence to offer high‑quality experiences for all learners.
