Forest School at our place

What is Forest School?

At Forest School the sessions are designed to provide children with opportunities for freedom, experiencing the joys of imaginative play-based experiences in a truly wild wood setting.
Forest School is a process, not just about developing physical and social skills, but supporting each child’s needs in ways that it is hoped will help them in life beyond Forest School.
Forest School shouldn’t just about den building and making camp fires, rather more about helping children to relax, have fun, connect with the natural world, enjoy being part of a group, overcome fears and anxieties.
Forest School provides children with a secure and supportive framework in an outdoor environment in which they can find their own starting points, having fun and extending skills without even knowing they are doing so.
At Forest School the adult role is to support, encourage, stand back and observe without interference, unless a child is putting themselves or others at risk.
The Forest School Leader introduces activities to promote holistic development of individual children and to encourage them to learn about and connect with the natural world.
Forest School taster sessions are designed to deliver a flavour of what Forest School is all about. Children need to attend for a minimum of 6 sessions for holistic development benefits.
