Forest School
Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees.
Forest School is a specialised learning approach that sits within and compliments the wider context of outdoor and woodland education.
At Forest School all participants are viewed as:
-
equal, unique and valuable
-
competent to explore & discover
-
entitled to experience appropriate risk and challenge
-
entitled to choose, and to initiate and drive their own learning and development
-
entitled to experience regular success
-
entitled to develop positive relationships with themselves and other people
-
entitled to develop a strong, positive relationship with their natural world
This learner-centred approach interweaves, with the ever-changing moods and marvels, the potential and challenges of the natural world through the seasons, to fill every Forest School session with discovery and difference.
