Forest Schools

Forest School is a child-centred inspirational learning process, that offers opportunities for holistic growth through regular sessions. It is a long-term program that supports play, exploration and supported risk taking. It develops confidence and self-esteem through learner inspired, hands-on experiences in a natural setting.

Forest School has a developmental ethos shared by thousands of trained practitioners around the world, who are constantly developing their learning styles and skills to support new and imaginative learners. 

At Longmoor, we take a group of children up to our on-site woodland area once a week for a six week block, where we use the outdoor environment to learn about nature and develop skills that can be used within school as well as the child's wider learning.

We aim for all children to take part in a block of Forest School sessions at least once during their time at Longmoor.
