Outdoor residential learning provides young people with rich life-changing experiences that build resilience, self-confidence and a deeper connection to the natural world. Let’s make it a reality for all children in England, Scotland and Wales: https://t.co/gXqXSIW6rm #LetUsOut
We're on a mission to let every young person in the UK experience an outdoor residential. That’s why we’re backing the Outdoor Education Bills in England, Scotland, and Wales.

Reflections from Year 7 students @XPschool at the end of their week at @OutwardBoundUK - The outdoors is SUCH a powerful tool in building confidence and self-belief!
Last week our new Year 7s were our 9th cohort of students to head off to the Aberdovey @OutwardBoundUK centre to answer the guiding question ‘What does it mean to be Crew?’. These are their reflections after just three days of secondary school...

Mrs Diamond's crew, spending some solo time thinking about our question: "What does it mean to be crew?" & sharing with each where they have seen this in themselves & others.
Courage and Compassion are major themes for this Crew.

XPG have arrived at Howtown for their first week of Yr 7- learning what crew means to them and how it will be the building block for learning and success for the rest of their time at high school! Not many students get to jump in a lake on their first day of Yr7! @OutwardBoundUK
We've arrived safely at Howtown, after a very short sheep-based hold up 🐑. We've had our first community meeting and are now being briefed about the afternoon ahead, which will likely involve a dip in the water 💦💪. #XPGOutwardBoundG30

Pupils have told @BBC_Cumbria they've gained new skills and experiences at @OutwardBoundUK, Ullswater.
Westmorland and Lonsdale MP @timfarron wants government to fund outdoor education for all.
Government says it's put £15m into outdoor learning for those in deprived areas.
In today's debrief an @OutwoodHaydock staff member said "everybody has overcome an obstacle and achieved something this week"
I cant wait to hear how this learning sticks with them and helps them thrive in the years to come!
I got to pop in and say hi to @OutwoodHaydock on their final morning this morning- one student told how he felt seeing a mountain for the first time in his life- in awe and inspired!
What an incredible week of adventure, new experiences and learning, we cant wait for next year!!
Looks like the first half our @OutwoodHaydock 's students had an exciting end to their 3 days at @UllswaterCentre, And now its time to have the second half of the year to have just as much wonderful adventure and learning in the wild!
@BowdonPrep @UllswaterCentre @OutwardBoundUK@isaschools So pleased you had such a brilliant week! Well done for rising to such brilliant adventures girls! 🥳
