Forest Schools

 

Take a look at our individual class pages for Forest Schools (see related pages - left) to find out about the learning and skills that each year group has been developing this academic year. 

 

Forest School is a child-centred learning process, providing learner inspired, hands-on experiences in the natural environment. It's creative and can increase a child's confidence as they problem-solve and learn to manage risks. Forest School encourages children to explore the natural environment and learn in it.

 

How Forest School can boost your senses?

  • Balance
  • Co-ordination and fine motor skills
  • Supports language development
  • Aids independence and self-care
  • Encourages self-regulation

Forest schools help children build confidence, self-awareness, and social and teamwork skills. Over the course, children have time to connect with themselves and others, understand their inner needs and become owners of their own freedom.
