Welcome to our Forest School Page
Our Vision and Ethos
Our Forest School vision is to provide a specialised learning approach that offers children regular learner-led exploration and discovery, nurturing meaningful experiences through hands-on learning in a natural environment with trees. Our Forest School aims to promote the holistic development of all involved. We will give children the opportunity to take supported risks appropriate to the environment and to themselves while supporting and fostering:
- Development of self- confidence, resilience and independence
- Improved mental health and emotional health
- Exposure to manageable risk
- Communication skills
- Self esteem
- How to care for others and the environment
- A sense of calmness, relaxation and heightened sense of wellbeing
All children will be included with all activities and no form of discrimination will take place. Reasonable adjustments will be made to make it inclusive for all. Inclusion is a thread which runs through all of the Forest School activities regardless of a child’s ability, disability, gender, race, culture, etc.
Forest School aims to provide a welcome and appropriate learning opportunity for all children providing an environment in which all children are supported to reach their full potential.
