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.
