Forest School
What is Forest School?
Forest School is a child centred, outdoor approach to learning which promotes the holistic development of children. It is an exciting opportunity for your child to experience nature and learn outdoors. At forest school, the children learn from first-hand experience and develop skills that will help them to make better progress when they are back in the classroom.
