Forest School
Forest School is a key element of our curriculum which runs on Thursdays and Fridays with Mr King. All classes are timetabled for Forest School throughout the year.
Below are the 6 core principles of Forest School.
1. Long Term Process - it's a frequent, regular session in a natural environment, allowing for deeper relationships and sustained learning.
2. Natural Environment - takes place in a woodland or natural setting to build a strong connection between learners and the natural world.
3. Holistic Development - aims to develop confident, resilient, creative and independent individuals by nurturing all aspects of their growth.
4. Supported Risk - offer opportunities for learners to take risks appropriate to the environment and themselves, fostering self-esteem and resilience.
5. Qualified Practitioners - led by trained Forest School leaders who maintain and develop their skills to support learning effectively.
6. Learner Centred Processess - uses child-led, play based approaches to create a community where learners drive their own development.
