Forest School session for home educated young people aged 11-16 years

Our sessions follow the Forest School ethos of child led learning, we actively embrace equality, celebrate diversity and ensure inclusion throughout.

A usual session finds us in the woods putting up ropes, hammocks, using tools and encouraging a deep connection with the woodland environment. We frequently have a fire (except in very dry weather) and cook a snack on it, this can be anything from smores to popcorn, damper dread, seasonal jam, drop scones, brownies and hot chocolate (although not all in one go!).

All our sessions will be held entirely outside, so please ensure your child(ren) come with a packed lunch and drink and are dressed appropriately for the weather (hat scarf, suncream, waterproofs as appropriate to the season) and be aware that is can be a tad cooler in the woods than elsewhere. Please note, closed toed shoes and long trousers must be worn as there are stinging nettles and midges in the woods and they will not be permitted to light fires or use tools without covered legs and toes.​​​​​​

All sessions are for unaccompanied children.

All young people must be dropped off by an adult, who must confirm their emergency contact details with the member of staff at the arrival point, before departing along with confirming who will be collecting said child.

Please note booking closes the day before the event.
