Bulk Orienteering & Navigation Equipment for Schools and Organisations
Equipping a whole class, year group or outdoor programme is a different task from buying a single item. Schools, outdoor centres, youth organisations and local clubs may need multiple copies of the same compasses or kit so that every participant can take part at the same time.
Bulk ordering is useful when you are setting up a new school orienteering programme, replacing items used regularly across multiple sessions, preparing for a new academic year or equipping a larger outdoor education group for the first time.
Planning a Larger Order
The right quantity depends on how the kit will be used and how sessions are organised. Some activities work well when items are shared between pairs or small groups; others are easier to run when every participant has their own.
Using identical items across the group also simplifies instruction. When all students work with the same design, teachers do not need to explain different models or operating methods — which matters particularly in outdoor sessions where managing a whole class requires clear, consistent communication.
Before placing your order, work out the number of pupils, the session format and whether teachers or assistants also need their own. It is worth allowing for a small number of replacements, particularly for anything used repeatedly across many sessions. If you are starting from scratch, our school starter kits are a useful reference point for quantities.
If the quantity you need is not shown on the website, or you are planning something larger and want to discuss requirements first, contact us with the items and numbers you have in mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can schools order multiple quantities of the same item?
Yes. If you need enough for a whole class, year group or outdoor programme, larger quantities can be arranged. Contact us if the number you need is not shown on the product page and we can help.
How should I plan one?
Start with the number of participants and how the session will be organised. Decide what each pupil needs individually and what can be shared. Then allow for teachers, assistants and a few spares. Our teaching resources can help with session planning.
