Forest school is holistic child-led education focusing on all aspects of a child’s development (social, emotional, physical, intellectual, communication and spiritual) children will have the opportunity to explore nature, light and cook on fires, use tools in a variety of different ways, build dens, play games, connect with the seasons and nature. Children will be celebrated for their individual achievements working with them at their own pace as they take charge of their own learning.
