At Tir Coed, we are passionate about connecting young people with nature and supporting their educational journey through outdoor learning. We deliver outdoor curriculum-based sessions to school groups and provide training to classroom staff so that they can sustain outdoor learning.
Tir Coed works with a variety of educational and community settings, including Primary and Secondary Schools, Pupil Referral Units, Elective Home Education Groups, Family Centres, Nurseries, and Youth Centres. Our programmes are designed to align with the new Welsh curriculum, 'Cynefin,' which emphasises the significance of understanding one's place within the community and the environment.
Our Activities Include:
- One-day bespoke woodland sessions: Tailored to meet the specific needs and interests of your group, offering a unique and immersive outdoor experience.
- Short or long term outdoor learning programmes: Flexible programmes designed to integrate with your curriculum and provide ongoing opportunities for outdoor education.
- Staff Training: Equipping classroom staff with the skills and knowledge they need to confidently deliver and sustain outdoor learning within their own settings.
By participating in Tir Coed's programmes, students can develop a deeper appreciation for the natural environment, enhance their practical skills, and enjoy the numerous benefits of outdoor education.
“Every week the session provides a real, purposeful context that we take back to class. The follow up tasks have full engagement as they are rooted in the pupils’ real experiences.” – Class Teacher, Pembrokeshire secondary school
Tir Coed is a proud member of the Wales Council for Outdoor Learning, reinforcing our commitment to high-quality outdoor education.
