Report highlights the benefit of learning outside the classroom

Learning outside the classroom: how far should you go? is the latest report from the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted). In the sample of schools visited, it found that well-planned activities not only enhance pupils’ learning, but can also re-engage those who are hard to motivate.
