INSPIRED BY FOREST SCHOOL

Originating in Scandinavia in the 1980’s, Forest School is now hugely popular in the UK as the benefits of outdoor learning become more and more widely recognised. Children and young people are given opportunities to develop confidence, creativity and self-esteem through hands-on learning in a natural woodland environment. This allows them to develop physically, emotionally and socially, whilst at the same time forming an appreciation and respect for the natural world.

Sessions are child-led, meaning that children are allowed to follow their own interests and develop at their own pace, rather than being told which activity to do when, as happens in a more traditional classroom environment. Research has shown that Forest School increases children’s independence, self-awareness, motor and social skills. Children learn to understand boundaries, stay safe whilst taking risks, explore at their own level and pace and develop highly creative imaginations.
