Minimal prep, everyday lessons
National curriculum-linked for EYFS – Year 6
Less planning.
More outdoor learning.
Happier classrooms.
Access 970+ grab-and-go outdoor lesson plans for Reception to Year 6, all linked to the National Curriculum. With new ones added every half term.
No extra timetabling required, just your everyday lessons, taught outside.
Every lesson plan requires minimal prep, simple resources, and provides support and challenge options for every learner.
The Alfresco Hub provides the outdoor learning you’d plan yourself, if you had more hours in the day.
‘Before joining The Alfresco Hub, staff lacked the confidence to plan and resource their own outdoor lessons. They now deliver one Alfresco Learning lesson each week as part of our curriculum outdoor learning offer.
The lessons have increased engagement and accessibility for all children, particularly those with SEND, and have also created more opportunities for oracy and collaboration. Staff value these resources, which bring learning to life and make everyday lessons engaging, while also enabling them to make better use of our school grounds. Parents have also noticed a positive difference in their children’s learning experiences.
The Alfresco Hub has supported our staff team to deliver high-quality outdoor learning that has a real impact.’

Kind words from Hub members:
The reason this 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.
We offer a free sample of our lesson plans – you may have missed it on your way down here! Download your free sample here.
You can also browse the Hub via the ‘Members’ tab at the top of the page.
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.
All receipts are kept on your account. Simply login & go to ‘My Account’ to find and download yours.
Simply your own motivation to engage children in their learning outdoors! Most resources can be found in your typical school setting – take a look at our sample lesson plans to see. You may need some playground chalk if you don’t already have some for some of the activities!
We definitely do! Send us an email to info@alfrescolearning.co.uk detailing the number of children & staff and we’ll create a bespoke price for you to ensure our Hub is accessible to your team.
Absolutely! But schools within the Trust would need to sign up around the same time to benefit. If you are looking at multiple schools signing up within a Trust please contact us at info@alfrescolearning.co.uk detailing the number of schools & number of staff in each school to receive your discounted price.
Yes! In fact when you take out a school membership you qualify for a discount on our full and half day INSET training. Drop us a training enquiry via our training page to book yours.
The Alfresco Hub gives you ready-to-use, curriculum-linked outdoor lesson plans that save you time and get pupils excited about learning. With minimal prep, easy resources, and fresh ideas every half term, you can cover your objectives while making lessons active, engaging, and memorable.
Individual accounts are perfect for teachers who work across multiple year groups. To keep things fair, we’ve introduced a rolling download limit so these accounts are used as intended — for individual use rather than whole school access. Individual accounts can download up to 20 lesson plans a week.
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.
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.
