20 free CLOtC school memberships - ALL GONE

20 schools and educational settings will get a year’s free CLOtC membership helping them to develop and embed learning beyond the classroom in 2026.

The memberships are funded by EVOLVE Advice, as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the wider schools and educational visits communities.

CLOtC membership from Council for Learning Outside the Classroom offers a wide range of useful benefits, including:

  • Free downloadable resources to help embed LOtC into your school’s curriculum.

  • Free access to recorded online CPD training

  • Discounts on face-to-face training and the CLOtC National Conference

  • Discounts from other organisations including Muddy Faces, EVOLVE Advice, Bloomsbury Education and more.

  • Access to CLOtC network and advice

The 20 free memberships are offered on a first-come-first-served basis to schools and educational settings that are not currently CLOtC Members – you don’t need to be an EVOLVE Advice client to benefit (see below for terms and conditions).

Jake Wiid, Director at EVOLVE Advice says,

“In our work with schools, we see first-hand the dedication and energy staff invest in giving children and young people meaningful experiences beyond the classroom. As part of our commitment to empowering schools to run safer educational visits, we’re delighted to fund twenty free CLOtC school memberships. These memberships provide practical support that helps schools strengthen and embed their learning outside the classroom provision.”

Dr Anne Hunt, CEO at the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom says:

“Learning beyond the classroom is proven to improve pupil engagement, enhance learning outcomes, and support wellbeing. With this funded membership, schools will have the tools and support to make a lasting impact on their students’ education. Together with EVOLVE Advice, we’re proud to help schools unlock the life-changing potential of LOtC.”
