Forest School

Forest school is an inspirational learning approach within outdoor learning. It offers participants the opportunity to develop confidence, self-esteem and social skills through physical hands-on learning experiences in a woodland environment. Supporting the development of a relationship between the child and the natural world.

Forest School suits all abilities, but children who have low self-esteem or who find the traditional classroom setting a challenge will often hugely benefit from our sessions. We also offer Forest School sessions for children with SEN – find out more below.

SEN Forest School is for children with special education needs and will be a more relaxed drop-in style session. We will have an area set up with various forest school activities and play opportunities on offer which children can have a go at with our trained forest school staff. Children can join in with activities or wander and explore as needed.

These sessions are not for unaccompanied children and each child will need a one-to-one or parent with them. Children are the accompanying adult’s responsibility.
