Forest School

Forest School is a learner-centred approach where participants can develop these learning values through self-directed play to discover and explore a natural setting. It is this holistic approach to learning and development which allows all participants the opportunity to develop personal, social and emotional skills such as confidence, self-esteem, empathy, creativity and communication skills, combined with a deepening knowledge of the natural environment and ability to assess risk. Our Forest School is run by a qualified Level 3 Forest School practitioner and fosters an environment where no child can fail. All children can take something positive from the experience.
