The Learning Outside the Classroom Service (formerly the Environmental Education Support Service) provides a wide range of centres and resources to support outdoor and environmental education in all Nottinghamshire County Council schools and helps schools to access a wide range of other educational opportunities and environmental initiatives.

The Service has been offering outdoor education advice, opportunities, residential/day centres and training to schools and other organisations working with young people for many years and has a long established national reputation in broadening the educational horizons of young people and enriching the curriculum through outdoor learning.

The Service runs two Residential Centres and three Day Visit Centres, all offering subsidised visits for Nottinghamshire County Council schools. Please download the Service's Managing Swine Flu Policy [PDF file] regarding visits to the Centres.

The Service also helps schools to access a wide range of other educational opportunities and environmental initiatives including the Eco Schools project and the Trailblazer scheme.

A wide range of training events are available – for details download the current booklet Outdoor and Environmental Training Opportunities [Word file]

The Learning Outside the Classroom Service advises and monitors Nottinghamshire County Council schools' off-site activities and residential visits. For more information and to download relevant forms, go to the Educational Visits page.
