Description
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.

Price is £15 per session. Payments for the full term are due by the start of the next term, you can decide whether to pay in instalments or fully. If in instalment please get in-touch on how to do this. Concession rates are available.
This session is drop-off meaning parents don’t stay with the group however sometimes parents come along for the first couple of sessions to settle their child in or if the child requires a one-one support. This is completely optional we will let you decide if it is needed.
Please bring appropriate clothing for the weather. It’s good idea to pack children with some extra clothing a snack and a drink.
We do cook on the fire so please make us aware of any allergies or food tolerances.
Please prepare your child for the wild, insect repellent, sun-cream and always do a tick check after each session.
