Forest School

Forest School takes place in all weathers and as such your child will need to be dressed accordingly. 

• Waterproof trousers and a waterproof jacket
• Wellington boots
• Extra warm layers – thermals, leggings or extra tights, even for boys are good
• Warm socks, or two pairs
• An extra jumper or fleece
• A warm hat and gloves
• Sunhat, sun cream

Forest School research tells us that children are stimulated by the outdoors and typically experience, over time, an increase in their self-belief, confidence, learning capacity, enthusiasm, communication and problem solving skills and emotional well-being.

At Forest School all participants are viewed as:

• equal, unique and valuable
• competent to explore & 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
