For Schools & Education

TAKE LEARNING OUTSIDE THE
CLASSROOM

Bring learning to life with a curriculum-linked visit to Bodenham Arboretum.

 

Designed for nurseries, primary and secondary schools, our hands-on outdoor sessions use the woodland, wildlife and natural environment to create memorable learning experiences that support your curriculum while giving children the chance to explore, discover and learn beyond the classroom.

For Schools & Education

BRING FOREST SCHOOL TO YOUR SCHOOL

Give your pupils the benefits of regular, high-quality Forest School without adding pressure to your teaching team.

 

As a Forest School Association Recognised Forest School Provider, we can provide experienced practitioners to deliver carefully planned half-day or full-day programmes on your own school site.

​

Our sessions support wellbeing, behaviour, confidence, resilience and engagement with learning, while staying true to the principles and ethos of Forest School.

​

Whether you want to strengthen your wider curriculum, develop your outdoor provision or give pupils regular opportunities to learn and succeed in a different environment, we can create a programme that works for your school.

ALTERNATIVE PROVISION THAT BUILDS CONFINCE CONNECTION AND ENGAGMENT

Our Alternative Provision programmes bring purposeful outdoor learning directly to your school. Delivered as a half-day or full-day programme within your own grounds, woodland or Forest School area, sessions are designed for small groups of pupils who may benefit from a different approach to learning. Through practical activities, nature connection, teamwork, tools and achievable challenges, we help pupils build confidence, relationships, resilience and engagement in a calm, supportive outdoor environment.
