"A fantastic week. You provided our students with a brilliantly delivered and accurately assessed course of activities. An absolute 'must' for any teachers looking to raise attainment in GCSE PE."

Matt Bowden (William Edwards School & Sports College)

Outdoor Adventure is a small OAA centre in a truly inspiring location on the majestic cliffs of north Cornwall. We specialise in supporting the teaching and assessment of OAA activities for GCSE PE.

In today’s schools, it can be challenging to provide a range of practical activities that help students to reach their full potential in GCSE PE. Outdoor Adventure can help you solve this problem. We offer intensive courses that cover the teaching and assessment of the practical skills required for OAA activities.

We have a proven track record of helping to raise student attainment through these courses and as a result have been endorsed by many schools who return to us each year.

Our hand-picked team have the skills and experience to deliver the course in an inspirational and fun way, which in turn motivates and engages your students as soon as they arrive at the Centre. Their professionalism and commitment enables you to enjoy the experience alongside your group.

Outdoor Adventure is the ideal solution for teachers looking to help students achieve the best possible practical marks using OAA activities.
