Cambium Sustainable Newsletter - Autumn 2020

Welcome to the Cambium Sustainable Autumn Newsletter

Hi, we're glad you're here. 

In a world that has changed so dramatically with the Covid-19 pandemic, the gifts of learning outside the classroom are more vital than ever for supporting children with their wellbeing and resilience. At Cambium we have been finding creative ways to adapt, we have increased access to online learning for our courses and are working hard to support our learners during this time.

Level 2 Curriculum Based Outdoor Learning Practitioner


Learning outdoors has never been so important. The requirements of Covid 19 regulations in schools mean that your school grounds are a more valuable resource than ever; but finding engaging and inspiring ways to deliver the curriculum outside can feel daunting. That’s where Cambium can help.

Our level 2 Curriculum Based Outdoor Learning Practitioner course will give you the skills and confidence you need to use your grounds for curriculum delivery. This 2.5 day course costs around £300, so it is both affordable and accessible to busy teachers. Our network of accredited trainers across the country mean that we can offer local training for local demand.

Research and Resources


We've compiled a list of interesting articles and research from recent publications around the world to keep you up to date with the latest developments.
