Why choose The Forest School Company?

Holistic Approach

Forest School offers the ideal opportunity to take a holistic view of the whole individual.
This view focuses on every aspect of the individual, not just one.
This allows us to provide opportunities that support the emotional, social, physical, spiritual, moral and intellectual skills that are learnt in the natural environment.
This is what we call nature as our teacher.

Raising Self-esteem & Confidence

A supportive environment allows learning to take place at an appropriate pace through personal exploration.
The reflection of experiences impacts learning to allow the process of personal growth.
Children develop the skills which are transferred and established in their everyday lives.

Professional Forest School Leaders

Forest school sessions are run by qualified professional forest school leaders. All leaders are level three trained and hold outdoor and paediatric first aid.

Benefits of Forest School

Children experience forest school in all weathers, where they learn to be successful through the use of tools, using their own initiative to solve problems, how to handle risks, cooperating with others and building resilience through this leads to happy, healthy children.
