Helping you take your teaching beyond the classroom

The Council for Learning Outside the Classroom (CLOtC) is a national charity that champions all learning that happens beyond the classroom (LOtC).

Our work supports educators, schools and organisations who are dedicated to ensuring more children and young people have opportunities for life-changing learning experiences beyond the classroom, whether these happen indoors or outdoors, close to home or far away.

I work in education

Whether your school or setting is just starting out or already taking teaching and learning beyond the classroom, we can help you to develop your LOtC, ensuring it is embedded into the curriculum to offer meaningful and impactful experiences.

I provide LOtC

If you, your organisation or venue supports schools to take learning outside the classroom find out how we can support you including applying for the LOtC Quality Badge: a quality assurance scheme, endorsed by the Department for Education, that recognises quality learning and effective risk management.
