    Session Information

    • Time: All sessions run in the afternoons from 13:15 – 15:15.

    • Locations: We use three dedicated zones: The Woodland, The Apple Grove, and The Quad.

    • Weather: We go out in rain, shine, snow, or mud! Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather. We only cancel in the event of high winds or thunderstorms.

    We are delighted to invite children back to the forest for the 2025-2026 academic year. Our sessions are led by our qualified Forest School leaders, Mr Evans-Lee and Mrs Lica, who work side-by-side to deliver outdoor learning experiences that build confidence, resilience, and teamwork.

     

    Important Note for Parents

    At the end of their session, children will be sent home wearing their Forest School kit. Please be prepared for them to arrive home muddy, smelling of campfire smoke, or with clothes that may have been snagged or torn during their adventures.
     

    We ask that all kit is washed and brought back to school, ready for their next scheduled session.

    Essential Reminders

    • Kit: Children must wear warm, weather-appropriate clothing (long sleeves/trousers) and sturdy footwear (walking boots or wellies).

    • Hydration: Please ensure your child has a named water bottle. (See the Forest School Leader if you need a free one).

    • Medical: Please inform us of any new allergies or medical conditions before your child's session.
