Forest School

This term, students have shown impressive growth during their Forest School sessions. With brighter days and new life emerging around them, they’ve explored woodland and pond habitats, identified plants and insects and developed valuable outdoor skills. Their confidence has flourished—whether navigating tricky terrain, leading group tasks or trying new techniques like tree-climbing, shelter-building, tool use and fire-lighting.

Week by week, their teamwork, resilience and problem-solving skills have strengthened, and many are taking real ownership of their outdoor learning. It is inspiring to see them grow in independence, support one another and connect deeply with the natural environment.

We’re excited to build on this progress as spring unfolds and we move toward the energy and brightness of summer.
