Outdoor and Sustainability Education Specialists

OASES

OASES stands for Outdoor and Sustainability Education Specialists.  We have been successfully delivering and promoting outdoor learning and global sustainability education for nearly 30 years.  As a charity our vision is to:
 
'Create a more sustainable world where all children can thrive'
 

Hence we seek to engage young people with the natural world, helping them to understand and appreciate the planet that supports them.

As an educational charity we also aim to:

'Inspire, motivate and engage young people by providing them with exciting educational experiences that will lead them to be enthusiastic, creative, resilient and confident learners.' 

Our hope is that your school will go from experiencing the benefits of outdoor learning to embedding it across your curriculum. To this end OASES delivers exciting sessions to Engage Pupils, training and support to Inspire Teachers (Courses, PD days, Twilights, PPA cover) as well as whole school initiatives to Enhance School curriculum provision.

CLIMATE FRIENDLY SCHOOLS

Do you want your school to be ‘climate friendly’ and help resolve, rather than intensify, the climate crisis? 

Then look no further! Every year OASES helps hundreds of schools to learn about and engage with climate action, and we’ve been doing so for nearly 30 years. We have used this experience and guidance from schools across the country, to create ‘Climate Friendly Schools’.

Climate Friendly Schools has been designed to complement the Department of Education’s Sustainability & Climate Change strategy and it’s Climate Leaders Award. Climate Friendly Schools also supports initiatives like ECO Schools and Lets Go Zero.

Congratulations to The Ribbon Academy, Kepier Academy, Nettlesworth Primary, Catchgate Primary, Hetton Lyons Primary and Chester-le-street CofE for gaining Climate friendly Schools Status for 2023.
