Forest Schools
Our Forest Schools programme is a great way to enrich teaching the curriculum through woodland adventure.
Our activities can be used as a single session to complement traditional subjects or as a stand-alone unit where groups can visit for a number of weeks. Each programme is unique, tailored to the needs of your group of children and run by fully qualified level 3 practitioners and are available for primary and secondary school pupils. Key areas of development include:
- social
- physical
- intellectual
- language and linguistics
- emotional
- self confidence.
Great value: £110 per two-hour session or six sessions for £600
