What is Forest School Training?

Forest School is a long term holistic learning process that aims to raise confidence, self-awareness and self-esteem in participants. Regular sessions take place in a woodland or natural environment, where the landscape itself adds to the experience of learning.

Qualified practitioners, trained in child development and learning theories, facilitate sessions tailored to meet individual outcomes for each participant. Forest School training can be applied to all age groups and abilities, and can be linked to the National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
