We believe children flourish when their young minds are immersed in nature. We are incredibly proud of our Forest School provision, which gives children regular opportunities to learn and explore in a natural environment.

Our beautiful rural setting offers rich outdoor learning every day. We have invested heavily in our on site Forest School facilities, which include a purpose-built outdoor classroom, a roundhouse for group activities, a mud kitchen and even a compost toilet - all designed to support sustainable learning outdoors.

Beyond the school grounds, all children from Years 1-6 take part in additional off-site Forest School sessions that build confidence, independence and a love of nature through hands-on woodland and survival experiences. Sessions take place throughout the year, in all weathers, allowing children to build a strong connection with nature and develop a wide range of practical and personal skills. Children take part in activities such as den building, tool use, fire lighting, natural traditional crafts and storytelling, all within a safe, supportive and stimulating environment.

Forest School is about much more than outdoor play; it’s about giving children time and space to explore, reflect and grow. Whether they’re quietly observing wildlife, problem-solving with friends, or simply enjoying the freedom of being outside, learning outdoors helps our children become more confident, calm and connected - not just to nature, but to themselves and each other.
