🌿 Booking Now Open – 6‑Week SEND Forest School Block! 🌿
Thurnscoe Community Allotment | Saturdays (Term Time)
7th March – 11th April

We’re excited to announce that booking is now open for our next 6‑week block of SEND Forest School sessions!

Our experience, backed by research and years of running Forest School programmes, shows that children benefit most when sessions run in consistent 6‑week blocks. This structure helps us stay true to the Forest School ethos, build a strong sense of community, and give every child the time and space they need to grow in confidence.

To keep our sessions calm, supportive, and meaningful, we keep group numbers small. By booking, you’re committing to attending all six sessions within this block so that your child can get the full experience.

✨ Optional Add‑On:
If you would like a supporting statement for DLA/EHCP applications, our qualified Forest School Leaders can provide one based on observations across the full 6 weeks. These can be purchased through our BookWhen page. We must have seen your child for all six sessions to complete this report.

Our leaders are trained professionals in SEND support, mental health, and early years, ensuring your child is in safe, knowledgeable hands.

👨‍👩‍👧 Your booking includes:

Attendance for one child

An accompanying adult

Refreshments during the session

If you have more than one child attending, please get in touch to ask about our sibling discount or if you have any questions at all.
