🌿 Outdoor Learning Matters 🌿

We're delighted to see proposals for the new Natural History GCSE include a minimum of 20 hours of fieldwork and outdoor learning.

At Skern Adventure, we've long believed that some of the most valuable learning happens outside the classroom. Through our Primary, GCSE and A-Level field studies programmes, students develop practical fieldwork skills, investigate real environments and gain first-hand experience that brings learning to life.

From exploring coastal landscapes and rocky shore ecosystems to collecting data for GCSE investigations and A-Level Independent Investigations (NEAs), outdoor learning helps students build knowledge, confidence and a deeper connection with the natural world.

It's fantastic to see greater recognition of the important role fieldwork plays in education, and we look forward to continuing to support schools with inspiring, curriculum-linked learning experiences.

Leading education charity Field Studies Council, which advised the Government on the new GCSE, says the qualification will increase demand for field trips and residentials.

💙 Supporting Local Families Through Adventure 💙

As we celebrate 50 years of Skern Adventure, we're proud to announce that Families in Grief (FiG) has been chosen as our Charity of Choice for 2026.

Over the past year, we've worked alongside FiG to support bereaved children, young people and families through outdoor activity sessions that build confidence, connection and positive memories.

This summer, we'll be taking our partnership even further through fundraising activities, event support and helping raise awareness of the incredible work FiG does across North Devon.

Together, we believe every child deserves support, connection and the opportunity to thrive, especially during life's most difficult moments.

What a brilliant first day at the Inspiring Leadership Conference yesterday. It was great to meet so many educators, employers, and learning professionals sharing how our residential programmes, apprenticeships, and development programmes help individuals build confidence and develop key skills.

We're looking forward to another inspiring day today, continuing conversations, making new connections, and exploring new partnerships in the education sector.

If you're attending, come and say hello – we'd love to chat!

Happy Devon Day 🌊💚

We may be biased, but we think there's nowhere quite like it.

We've got dramatic coastlines, surf beaches, rolling countryside and unforgettable sunsets - just to name a few! And we're incredibly grateful to call Devon home 🙌

These landscapes have been the backdrop to adventures, friendships, challenges and memories made with Skern, and every day, we're reminded just how lucky we are to share this special corner of the country with the thousands of young people, schools and families who visit us each year!

Here's to Devon, and all the adventures still to come 💚
