Forest School

Forest School is an integral part of our curriculum and all pupils get to spend time in our Forest School Area.

The benefits of forest school sessions include:

• Increased confidence and self-esteem through exploration, problem-solving and being encouraged to learn how to assess and take appropriate risks depending on the environment.
• Taking learning outside of the classroom and into the great outdoors.

• Introducing new experiences.
• Encouraging curiosity and trying things out in contrast to more structured learning.
• Helping  to develop a connection with the natural world and the ecosystems they are part of.
• Boosting children's confidence, resilience, independence, and self-esteem through self-discovery.
• Applying the school's RESPECT characteristics.
