What is Forest School?
Forest School is based on the idea that young children can develop enthusiasm for education through the appreciation of nature. Forest schools have found to boost pupils’ confidence and improved their behaviour and social skills. Forest school is holistic learning through play and exploration, children learn about the environment, how to handle risks and use their initiative to solve problems and to co-operate with others.
Who?
The Forest School Leaders at present are: Mrs Linda Flatters Mrs Karen Stewart and Mrs Katie Wheatley
Mission statement:
Through regular visits to our Forest School site every child will access learning and development within the natural world around them. Every child will succeed through inspirational, stimulating, hands on experiences, developing their self-esteem, confidence and responsibility.
This year we are introducing the Wild Passport, which allows children to develop progression in a number of outdoor skill areas.
Take a look at what we’ve been up to in Forest School recently:
