Forest School turns our local woodlands into an outdoor classroom and natural playground. Using an inspirational place for children to learn and play, this programme provides practical hands-on activities to capture interest and stimulate learning (whatever the weather!). Active outdoor experiences and games encourage children to enjoy healthy outdoor play whilst increasing their understanding of the world around them and the impact we have on it.
Forest School consists of six half-day visits, once per week, and takes place in a nearby woodland site agreed with the school.

• In the spring, children investigate wild life as it emerges from its wintry holts.


• Summer months enable children to observe wildlife and identify species.


• Autumn is a time to understand the interdependence of life as the season changes.


• Winter months enable children to appreciate how species adapt and survive.

Forest School is a proven way to build confidence, self-esteem and social skills. Children also complete their ‘Discover Award’, the first stage of the John Muir Award Scheme.

We can offer themed forest school courses on request. For example, Biodiversity; Conservation; Environmental Enterprise; and Young Ologists
