What is Forest School?
The 6 principles of Forest School [forestschoolassociation.org]
- Forest School is a long-term process of regular sessions, rather than one-off or infrequent visits; the cycle of planning, observation, adaptation and review links each session.
- Forest School takes place in a woodland or natural environment to support the development of a lifelong relationship between the learner and the natural world.
- Forest School uses a range of learner-centered processes to create a community for being, development and learning.
- Forest School aims to promote the holistic development of all involved, fostering resilient, confident, independent and creative learners.
- Forest School offers learners the opportunity to take supported risks appropriate to the environment and to themselves.
- Forest School is run by qualified Forest School practitioners, who continuously maintain and develop their professional practice.
Who we work with
We work with schools to provide Forest School sessions and/or develop their Forest School areas. We also offer Outdoor Learning as part of the curriculum, nurture/SEN sessions for children who may require extra support. We also run after school clubs & holiday clubs.
