Forest Schools Near You

Got a child who loves the outdoors? Then they might benefit from a Forest School, a learning method that uses nature as a tool to teach social, personal and practical skills.

Forest Schools meet regularly in the outdoors, where your child will be encouraged to explore their surroundings in creative ways. The subjects they teach are cross-curriculum, so your child will get a rich education inspired by the wild. They might try nature crafting, climb trees, or learn about the intricate ecosystems that underly a woodland.

Forest Schools are usually child-led, so your little one can take control of their own learning and get an extra sense of enjoyment out of each session.

This style of learning is often centred around helping your child to gain confidence and a greater sense of independence while growing a lasting affinity with nature.
