Welcome to Independent Outdoor
Independent Outdoor is the umbrella organisation for staff delivering outdoor activities at independent schools in the UK.
All of our team work in outdoor activities at independent schools, hold the higher awards from the national governing bodies and have experience of running national training and assessment courses.

The style is always collaborative - professionals discussing and sharing good practice, alongside clear demonstration of higher level skills by the trainer.
