Forest School

Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers~all learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees.

Forest School is a specialised learning approach that sits within and compliments the wider context of outdoor and woodland education.

At Forest School all participants are viewed as:
· equal, unique and valuable
· competent to explore~and discover
· entitled to experience appropriate risk and challenge
· entitled to choose, and to initiate and drive their own learning and development
· entitled to experience regular success
· entitled to develop positive relationships with themselves and other people
· entitled to develop a strong, positive relationship with their natural world

This learner-centred approach interweaves with the ever-changing moods and challenges of the natural world through the seasons to fill every Forest School session and programme with discovery and difference. Yet each programme does also share a common set of principles, aimed at ensuring that all learners experience the cumulative and lasting benefits that quality Forest School offers.
