Welcome to Outdoor Adventures in Learning!

Something beneficial that can make a big difference to your pupils' school life: Outdoor Adventurous Activities (OAA). Our programme is all about getting children excited about learning outside the classroom. It's designed to be fun, inclusive, and filled with lessons that stick.

Why OAA is important:

• Physical and Mental Benefits: Active kids are happy kids. Getting outdoors and tackling challenges is great for their bodies and minds.

It’s also where they discover the power of play.

Designed and taught by Helen Battelley, Inspiring Early Years PE, physical activity and physical development is, as you may have guessed from the title, a course for those who work with (or aspire to work with) younger children aged around 3 – 7 years.  

 As with all of our courses, it offers you the flexibility to study wherever, whenever and however you want to. You can learn in short bursts or do longer stints if you have time. You can pause if you’re interrupted or go back and repeat anything you’re unsure about. With Aspire:ED, you are in control.  

What is the course about?  

The three-module course will help you to develop an understanding of how best to support children physically in the Early Years. Combining both practical and theoretical content, you will gain:
