Forest School
We are delighted to celebrate the launch of our new Forest School programme, an enriching, outdoor learning initiative that brings the curriculum to life through real-world exploration and nature-based discovery.
Delivered in partnership with Born of the Forest, our Forest School offers weekly sessions that we are rolling out across the entire school.
What is Forest School?
Forest School is a child-led, long-term approach to learning that takes place in natural settings. Recognised by the Forest School Association, it promotes holistic development by encouraging:
-
Supported risk-taking
-
Independence and confidence
-
Curiosity and creativity
-
Play-based exploration
Helping to develop a life long love of learning.
What Do Our Sessions Include?
Children enjoy a wide range of rich, hands-on experiences, such as:
-
Campfire cooking – including dandelion and banana pancakes
-
Adventure play – tyre swings, slacklines and hammocks
-
Tool use – learning how to safely use saws, hammers, and peelers
-
Creative construction – den building and mud kitchen play
-
Science in action – exploring habitats and wildlife up close
These sessions link directly to the national curriculum while nurturing key life skills like resilience, problem-solving, and teamwork.
