Abstract
This report presents the findings from a comprehensive literature review and a validated survey sent out to schools to gain an indicative picture of the current outdoor learning provision in Wales. The project was undertaken as part of the Collaborative Evidence Network. The findings are aimed at policymakers and LAs, who can support schools and practitioners in developing outdoor learning policy, guidance, resources and professional development for the education workforce in Wales. The findings suggest that a coherent strategy and budget allocation are required to support schools and local authorities in curating outdoor learning resources in an accessible format and single location. Further support should also be given for professional development opportunities for the education workforce, along with increasing awareness of outdoor learning as a viable and effective pedagogy, rather than an enrichment activity in both the existing workforce and in programmes of initial teacher education.
