Forest school
Forest School encourages children to explore their own innate learning in the outdoors. They can learn to develop their team working skills, become more independent and manage risks. Children and young people are stimulated by the outdoors and, over time, typically experience an increase in their self-belief, conidence, learning capacity, enthusiasm, communication, problem-solving skills and emotional well-being.
