Forest School

Our Forest School sessions offers an inspiring way for children to learn beyond the classroom, combining adventure with education. In a natural outdoor setting, pupils take part in practical activities and achievable tasks that build confidence, independence, and resilience. Forest School is closely linked to the curriculum, supporting subjects such as science, geography, and PSHE by providing real-world contexts for exploration, problem-solving, and teamwork. These experiences strengthen core skills like communication and critical thinking, which directly enhance academic progress back in the classroom. Children typically show improved concentration, motivation, and creativity, helping them excel across all areas of learning. By fostering a lifelong connection with nature, Forest School nurtures emotional well-being and equips pupils with the skills they need to thrive both academically and personally. All classes take part in forest school sessions across the year.
