Forest School

Forest School is a wonderful way of building independence and self-esteem in young children, exposing them to the natural world at a time where it is vital for children to understand their impact on the environment.  It is an opportunity for our pupils to have new, creative experiences in the outdoor environment in a safe way.  We use Forest School to enhance our curriculum by teaching children about the natural environment, how to take risks, use tools, solve problems and co-operate with others. Through Forest School, we aim to foster a love and respect for the natural world whilst developing social, communication and physical skills.  We are fortunate to have an on-site forest area as well as local woodland areas that we can use.  We are close to Stutton Shore and in the summer term, also use this environment to teach these skills.
