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
