The Forest School approach is a way of learning that takes place outdoors, encouraging children to explore and connect with nature while developing important skills. It focuses on hands-on experiences, like building, crafting, problem-solving, and teamwork, all in a natural environment. Children have the freedom to lead their own learning, which helps them build confidence, independence, and creativity. It’s also great for their mental well-being, as being outside can reduce stress and boost happiness.
At school, we use the Forest School approach to give children the chance to learn through exploration and play, fostering their curiosity while developing social and practical skills that can help them in all areas of life.
