Forest School

'Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better’ – Albert Einstein

What is Forest School?

Forest School is an outdoor approach to learning which enables children to experience the freedom and beauty of our natural environment in the safety of our school and St Peter’s Church grounds.

Our Forest School is led by Mrs Bevin, a Level 3 Forest School practitioner.

What happens at Forest School?

Each session has a similar structure so that the children quickly become familiar with rules and routines. Each session always begins around the fire circle, where we share and discuss the Forest School safety rules. During Forest School sessions, children are encouraged to work with others to carry out activities such as den / shelter building, exploratory,  practical or creative tasks.
