Forest School

Meeting in the Wig-Wam at Forest School.

The philosophy of Forest Schools is to encourage and inspire children through positive outdoor experiences.

Working together in the outdoor environment develops their self sufficiency, cooperative and problem solving skills and promotes their confidence within the classroom.

We have a large forest school area and garden which we developed with the help of the local community and the environment agency. Willow structures, a gazebo, a bog garden, a log circle and a range of trees, grasses and shrubs help create an exciting wildlife area which all the children love to explore.

Our garden is also used to grow fresh vegetables and flowers, in order to support work in science and for the simple pleasure of seeing plants grow from seed.
