Forest School

Our Forest School is an inspirational experience that offers all learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or outdoor environment.

Our Forest School Curriculum

Our Forest School curriculum is child-directed. Our pupils take responsibility for deciding which activities they do, and this means they are both motivated and highly engaged in their activities. Forest School allows learners the time and space to develop their interests and skills through hands-on experiences.
