OPPORTUNITY CHALLENGE SELF-RELIANCE RESPONSIBILITY FULFILMENT CONFIDENCE = SUCCESS
You recognise that to create socially competent, emotionally intelligent, entrepreneurial children and young people requires teachers to be enabled and empowered to utilise the most appropriate learning environments, wherever they may be.
We could just run activities for you – from simple activities in the school grounds to adventurous expeditions in remote countries and everything in between.
What we would really like to do is to work with you and your staff team to develop your own sustainable outdoor and adventurous education programme.
We have twenty years experience in motivating and training staff to initiate, develop and run progressive outdoor education programmes – in schools, colleges and youth organisations. We have been there and done that – working with children and staff in environments ranging from British classrooms to the Western Desert and Morocco’s Atlas Mountains.
“…an excellent programme whereby the whole process is one of development, growth and responsibility.”
“Tim’s work organising and delivering expeditions has provided life changing experiences for our students (and staff!)”
Tim worked with us to help really kick start the whole agenda of adventure and out-of-classroom learning at Pendle Vale. His knowledge and experience have really helped our staff to consider what might be possible with young people, whilst at the same time facilitating an ongoing debate about how these experiences really add value. Tim knows what questions to ask and has a real focus on making a programme sustainable within schools – not just reliant on outside help. We were able to take 12 staff away on an excellent residential to look at the possibilities of outdoor learning and the inspiration of this weekend and the subsequent discussions has led to us running Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, in a sustainable way, in school for over 70 young people.
Tim fully understands the standards agenda that drives schools and has a genuine and focused approach to making sure that any outdoor or adventure programme enhances this. We hope to continue to work with Tim, and his network of other outdoor professionals, to continue our journey for time to come.
