Embracing the Outdoors: Our Forest School Year
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.
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.
