Learning outside the classroom changes lives…
The Council for Learning Outside the Classroom is the national voice for learning outside the classroom. We believe that every young person (0-19yrs) should experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of learning and personal development, whatever their age, ability or circumstances. Read more about us.
Whether you are an education practitioner, headteacher, governor or organisation that provides LOtC experiences, this website offers a large range of resources developed with the support of many experts in the field learning outside the classroom. The site is designed to support anyone working with young people aged 0–19 provide high-quality educational experiences.
Paul Rose, presenter, explorer and naturalist, endorses LOtC.
“I shone at three things in school – trips away from school, sports and metalwork. Those classrooms were not for me: overheated, incomprehensible and dull lessons. I was so bored. Then, when I was fourteen, my geography teacher took us outside of the classroom and all the horrors that it held for me…” Read more from our LOtC Champions.
