Orienteering - Enrich Education

What is school orienteering?

School orienteering is a combination of walking and running, map reading, and problem-solving. You and your friends have to use a map to navigate between a series of ‘control points’ that are marked on the map.

Where can you do orienteering?

School orienteering can take place around or in your school buildings but it’s best to get outside if you can.

Why try orienteering at your school?

Orienteering in school is a great way to get active and outdoors, which helps physical and mental wellbeing. As well as the physical challenge of walking or running between points on a route, you develop map reading skills, such as using a compass, directional language, and interpreting map symbols and keys.

Orienteering also involves problem-solving, as you might need to work out the quickest way to navigate a route and also helps you to develop communication and team-working skills.

It can also be used to support active play at break times and lunchtimes and for after school clubs.
