Forest school is an inspirational process that offers children regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self esteem through hands on learning experiences in a local woodland environment. We utilise our local community and involve it in the process of our own Forest School. The benefits of outdoor and environmental education are well researched and documented but for many children these experiences are rare and not always successfully contextualised or developed. We aim to bring this experience to all of our children, teaching them many forestry skills along the way.
