Forest School is an environment that enables children to learn, grow and thrive in a safe space that provides an opportunity for children to explore their own identities, skill sets and develop physically, emotionally and intellectually. This allows children to use their integrity and intuition in pupil-led experiences, building on their confidence and self-esteem.

Forest School gives children the opportunity to develop a relationship with nature. Children can experience and discover new environments and elements that they might otherwise not know exist. Learning is developed, building on multiple intelligence where children are able to recognise their growth within themselves and their environment.

Forest School builds on a sense of belonging and community. Projects run for a sustained period of time, allowing individuals to explore different elements throughout the seasons and build relationships with their peers. This helps to empower children through both their learning and emotional development.
