10 ideas to take learning beyond the classroom walls on a limited budget


Justine Lee Communications and Fundraising Manager at Council for Learning Outside the Classroom


Taking your learning outside the classroom is an easy way to motivate your class, engage them with a subject and help them be more active. It can help you achieve school priorities while also making learning fun and positively impact on behaviour, learning, and attainment. But it can be hard knowing where or how to get started.


Here are 10 cost–effective ways to take learning beyond the classroom:


Use the LOtC Mark framework as a guide


Developed by the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom, it is a flexible framework for schools to help establish their out–of–class learning across the whole curriculum.


Use your school grounds


Immediately accessible, cost– effective and convenient! Using your school’s grounds, with sessions led by your staff, is the simplest way of incorporating more learning outside the classroom into your children’s learning.


Don’t let space limit you


Regardless of the size of your school grounds, there are endless opportunities for learning across all subject areas. Use chalk and measuring distances to draw a historical timeline, planters to create a school garden, play areas for team–building activities, draw shapes and create angles…your imagination is the only limit!
