Outdoor Learning That Builds Confidence and Real Skills
At Green Paths, we offer AQA Outdoor Skills & Resilience Programme at Home Farm, Arlington Court — giving children and young people the chance to learn outdoors while gaining recognised awards.
These sessions are hands-on, supportive, and designed to help every learner feel successful.
What to Expect
Our programmes focus on building confidence, independence, and recognised achievement in just 4 weeks. This might include:
Bushcraft and fire skills
Nature photography
Nature and wildlife exploration
Tool use and practical skills
Teamwork and problem-solving
Building confidence and resilience
Every activity works towards an AQA Unit Award, so learners leave with something to show for their achievements.
Who It’s For
These programmes are ideal for:
Children who learn better outside the classroom
Young people needing a confidence boost
Home-educated learners
Children with SEND
Those struggling in mainstream education
We create a calm, welcoming space where every child can take part and feel valued.
Why It Works
Being outdoors changes things.
Children often feel less pressure, more engaged, and more willing to try. That’s when real progress happens — not just in learning, but in confidence, wellbeing, and self-belief.
Our Approach
We keep things simple:
Inclusive – everyone is supported
Practical – learning by doing
Supportive – we meet each learner where they are
Recognised – every achievement counts through AQA.
Why Green Paths?
We specialise in inclusive outdoor education that genuinely supports children and young people — especially those who need something different.
This isn’t just another session.
It’s a chance for learners to feel capable, succeed, and be recognised.

What Are AQA Unit Awards?
The AQA Unit Award Scheme is a nationally recognised framework that celebrates achievement across a wide range of subjects and skills.
Each unit allows learners to:
complete practical, achievable tasks
work at a pace that suits them
build confidence through success
receive formal recognition for what they have achieved
AQA awards are particularly valuable because they recognise progress in a flexible and inclusive way. This makes them ideal for children and young people who may not always thrive in more traditional learning environments.
