'Forest school’ is a learning approach that fosters independence, confidence, resilience and creativity. A deep appreciation for the natural world supports a child’s sense of well-being and belonging. Children go outside to explore and discover in all weathers; investigate seasons and environmental changes.

The ethos of deep-levelled learning and progression is integral to the Forest School Approach which promotes a child’s holistic development. The benefits of Forest School are extensive; including but not limited to the social, physical, intellectual, communication, emotional and spiritual development of an individual.
