Our Forest School Leader is our HLTA, Mrs Nina Long. Mrs Long takes small groups of children out for Forest School regularly. They enjoy a variety of activities, including den building, cooking over an open fire and learning how to use tools safely.
Forest School is an important part of our curriculum as it builds emotional resilience, as well as giving the children the chance to experience learning in an outdoor environment.
