Our orienteering lesson plans give teachers a progressive outdoor and adventurous activity unit that is clearly linked to the National Curriculum.
-
Pupils move from simple directional work and basic map features in early years to scaling, control points, route planning and adapted events in upper KS2.
-
Declarative knowledge is built through learning about maps, symbols, legends, cardinal points and strategy, while procedural knowledge is developed through navigation, route choice, teamwork and physical problem solving.
-
The unit also strongly supports wider development, including trust, empathy, communication, confidence and reflection, making it an excellent choice for schools looking to broaden their primary PE curriculum with meaningful outdoor learning.
