Child-led Forest School sessions enable children to follow their interests and develop at their own pace. Research shows increased independence, self-awareness, motor and social skills. Children learn to manage risk, understand boundaries and think creatively. Delivered in small groups within a dedicated natural setting, programmes complement the curriculum and support wellbeing, building confidence, resilience and positive relationships.
