Forest School is an inspirational process that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self esteem through hands on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees. Forest School is a long term outdoor programme of activities delivered by trained practitioners within a natural environment and whatever the weather! Principles of learning in Forest School
Principle 1: Forest School is a long-term process of frequent and regular sessions in a woodland or natural environment, rather than a one-off visit. Planning, adaptation, observations and reviewing are integral elements of Forest School. Principle 2: Forest School takes place in a woodland or natural wooded environment to support the development of a relationship between the learner and the natural world. Principle 3: Forest School aims to promote the holistic development of all those involved, fostering resilient, confident, independent and creative learners. Principle 4: Forest School offers learners the opportunity to take supported risks appropriate to the environment and to themselves. Principle 5: Forest School is run by qualified Forest School practitioners who continuously maintain and develop their professional practice. Principle 6: Forest School uses a range of learner-centred processes to create a community for development and learning.
