Forest School

“The best classroom and the richest classroom is roofed only by the sky.”

Margaret McMillan

We are really lucky to have an extensive and exciting nature garden including an allotment area, which we use for a wide range of learning experiences both during lessons and after school.  

Forest School gives children an opportunity to explore and discover, whilst experiencing appropriate risk and challenge. They are able to choose, initiate and drive their own learning and development whilst experiencing regular success.  

Forest School helps children develop self-esteem and confidence, as well as personal and social skills outdoors. It provides a valuable environment in which children can develop a strong, positive relationship with their natural world.
