What is Trailblazer?

An easily-accessible bank of ideas/resources to make being outdoors a stimulating learning experience.
On-going support and advice with the opportunity to share experiences, and attend further training.
What does it involve?
Trailblazer can fit into your school in a variety of ways. You may get the whole school involved, a year group, a class or even a small group.
You choose the activities that best fit your planning and interests. As long as they are outdoors they count!
You can award certificates to individuals at any point during the year or collect hours and present certificates at the end of the year. The choice is yours!
All we ask is that you provide us with some evidence of Trailblazing activity during the year. This ensures that you continue to receive our support and remain a Trailblazer school!
We provide certificates for you to download at any point during the year.
Your school or group can also apply for a certificate to indicate your active involvement in the scheme on an annual basis.
