Services for Schools

Supporting your pupils to learn, grow and thrive

We work closely with schools across Hampshire and the New Forest to provide outdoor education and alternative provision that genuinely makes a difference — for the pupils who need it most, and for the schools that support them.

How We Work With Schools

A genuine partnership

We understand the pressures schools are under — and we understand the complexity of supporting pupils who are struggling to engage, attend or achieve within a traditional setting. Our role is to work alongside you, not to replace what you do, but to offer something different for the young people who need it.

Every placement or programme we deliver is built around a collaborative process. We take time to understand the young person, their needs, their strengths and their goals — and we work with you to set targets and outcomes that are meaningful, measurable and aligned with your own priorities.

We provide regular communication, progress updates and written reports throughout any placement, so you always have a clear picture of how a young person is developing with us.

What We Offer

Our services for schools

Alternative provision placements

Full or part-time outdoor-based AP for pupils who need a change of setting. We work with schools and local authorities to provide structured, curriculum-linked provision in the natural environment.

Curriculum-linked outdoor sessions

Bespoke outdoor sessions that embed core curriculum subjects — science, geography, maths, English and more — within hands-on, nature-based activities. Suitable for whole classes or targeted groups.

Wellbeing and resilience programmes

Structured programmes designed to support pupils' emotional wellbeing, build resilience and develop self-regulation skills — using outdoor challenge, adventure and reflective practice.

Transition support

Outdoor programmes to support pupils through key transitions — primary to secondary, reintegration after absence, or preparation for a new educational setting.

School trip and enrichment days

Fully planned and delivered outdoor adventure days for school groups. We handle everything — activities, risk assessments, staffing and logistics — so your staff can focus on the pupils.

Bespoke programmes

If you have a specific need or group in mind, we will work with you to design something that fits. We are flexible, responsive and genuinely interested in getting it right.

Our Process

How a placement works

01

Initial conversation

We start with a conversation — about the young person, your school's needs, and what you are hoping to achieve. No forms, no pressure, just a genuine discussion.

02

Information gathering

We gather relevant background information to help us understand the young person fully — their history, their interests, what works for them and what doesn't.

03

Programme design

We design a bespoke programme of sessions tailored to the individual, with agreed targets and outcomes that align with your school's priorities.

04

Delivery

Sessions are delivered in outdoor environments across the New Forest and Hampshire. We keep you informed throughout with regular updates and communication.

05

Review and reporting

We provide written progress reports and attend review meetings as required, ensuring the placement remains purposeful and responsive to the young person's development.
