Last year, EdEx funded The Holy Family School’s complete Forest School! 🌳
The school set out to create a Forest School – an outdoor space designed for hands-on learning, confidence building, and giving pupils the opportunity to develop beyond the classroom. The project was funded in full.
There is also a long-standing connection with the school, with Ryan’s Auntie working at the School for over 25 years as an SEN Teaching Assistant, supporting some of the most challenging pupils. Throughout that time, the focus has remained on hands-on support, helping children develop strategies that positively impact both school and home life.
Ryan recently spent the afternoon at the school, supporting a Year 4 class in the Forest School – building huts, creating dams, and embracing outdoor learning. It was a clear reminder of the value and impact this kind of environment can have.
Each year group now spends four weeks on a Forest School project, culminating in a portfolio of their work. Sometimes, a simple contribution can have a powerful effect.
Proud that EdEx - Education Recruitment could play a part in this one 💙
