The SNP look to be running down the clock to kill Liz Smith CBE MSP's Bill on outdoor education. This would be the first time in devolution a government blocked a Bill backed by Parliament. A dangerous contempt for democracy.

A fun day squeezing through tight, dark spaces! Great time scrambling for Jamie's group this afternoon. #SandwoodBV25

The scrambling challenge brought out the best in everyone. 💪 🪨👏#Teamwork #SchoolTrip"

Last time all together reflecting on our amazing time Blairvadach Outdoor Education Centre - Glasgow. What an amazing experience we've had! #outdooradventure #SandwoodBV25

Just 12 days till ⁦Scottish Government⁩ supports or thwarts the will of ⁦Scottish Parliament⁩ over a week’s outdoor education for all Scots kids. Technical measure for Private Member’s Bill to progress not forthcoming from Scotgov. Why - surely MSPs should decide? thenational.scot/politics/25458…

Significant research showing just how far we are lagging behind other European nations in outdoor learning provision, despite all of its distinct educational benefits. We must do better. stir.ac.uk/news/2025/sept…

Early studies with P4 pupils found “learning maths while exercising spatial reasoning increases performance in the subject by 20 per cent and can reduce attainment gaps”. tes.com/magazine/news/…

Outdoor education helps build confidence, resilience, and a love of learning and nature that lasts a lifetime. At Lib Dem Conference, I was proud to put forward our new policy for every child to have the funded opportunity of a week-long residential outdoor education experience.

A good day for Scottish education 👇

I'm pleased that the government has laid a financial resolution for Liz Smith CBE MSP's Outdoor Education Bill. As the Bill progresses, the needs of pupils with ASN must be taken into consideration and I hope the Minister will take that commitment seriously.

Outdoor learning positively impacts pupils’ wellbeing and development. Minister Natalie Don-Innes MSP confirms @ScotGov will back the Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill with a financial resolution, allowing it to make progress in Scottish Parliament. ➡️bit.ly/42JpBDx

Excellent coverage today in the news today of Liz Smith CBE MSP outdoor education proposals. It shouldn’t have taken such embarrassing pressure on the Scottish Government to allow the Bill to progress to stage 2, as per parliament’s will.. I will follow its progress carefully.

Delighted for Liz Smith CBE MSP that the Scottish Government have finally seen sense and will not block her Outdoor Education Bill. Liz shows the real difference an individual MSP can make when they stand up and fight for what they believe in.
