Outdoor learning that WORKS for the CURRICULUM

We know the pressure is real. Every lesson has to count, every objective has to be met. That’s why The Alfresco Hub isn’t about adding “extra” activities on top of your teaching. It’s about giving you ready-to-use lesson plans that are your curriculum delivery.

Every lesson plan in The Alfresco Hub is carefully linked to the National Curriculum, so you can teach your objectives while bringing them to life outdoors. From maths that complements White Rose sequences to SPaG, Geography, science, and history, our lessons slot straight into what you’re already teaching.

This isn’t “nice-to-have” enrichment. It’s the same curriculum content you’d teach indoors – made active, memorable, and exciting. So instead of feeling torn between covering the curriculum and engaging your class, you can do both at once.

 And with new plans released every half term, you’ll always have fresh, curriculum-driven ideas ready to go.

What teachers often ask us:

01 Will the membership auto-renew?

All memberships set up via card payment — whether for an individual teacher or a whole school — will automatically renew unless cancelled by the account holder. You can easily manage or update your membership at any time through the ‘My Account’ section when logged into The Hub.

For school memberships paid by invoice, your access will end automatically after 12 months unless you let us know you’d like to renew. We’ll be happy to help you continue your outdoor learning journey.

02 Is this a scheme of work? Do you have curriculum maps?

The Alfresco Hub offers outdoor lesson plans that fit seamlessly into your existing timetable and teaching sequence. While we don’t provide full curriculum maps, our plans cover a wide range of topics and National Curriculum objectives, making it easy to take chosen areas of your curriculum outdoors.

03 Does The Alfresco Hub include Forest School planning?

No – but hear us out! Forest School is a play-based approach that puts an extra burden on school timetables and requires staff to be up-skilled in using tools & fire. Here at Alfresco Learning our approach is to use the outdoors as a tool for teaching and learning, enabling teachers to utilise their existing expertise by simply transporting the curriculum to your outdoor environment. No tools, no fire, instead just simple but effective outdoor teaching to deliver the curriculum.

When pupils are more engaged, more active, and more focused, they don’t just meet expectations - they EXCEED them.

The reason our approach works so well is because it was made by real-life teachers to have a real impact whilst fitting into all of the requirements you juggle everyday.

The classes we taught were complex, full of high need & the outdoors offered us a way to reach ALL children. The combination of movement, large-scale working, collaboration, visuals & hands-on learning makes the curriculum accessible for everyone, whilst also reaping the benefits that working outdoors provides.

The Alfresco Hub is the resource we wished we had at our finger tips to support these learners and save us time in doing so.
