Helping Your Pupils Thrive Beyond the Classroom
Regular Forest School gives your pupils time and space to explore, play, solve problems, take appropriate risks and follow their own interests.
Through practical, child-led experiences outdoors, pupils have opportunities to build confidence, resilience, independence and positive relationships, while developing skills that can support their wellbeing and engagement back in the classroom.

Working in Partnership
Great Forest School works best when schools and Forest School Leaders work together.​
A Suitable Outdoor Space
We ask schools to provide access to a suitable outdoor area with natural features, ideally including some trees. The space should allow children to explore, play and take part in practical Forest School activities safely
Small, Consistent Groups
Forest School works best in small groups where children have time, space and support to develop confidence and independence. We recommend groups of around 15 pupils, depending on age, needs, staffing and the site
​Respect for the Forest School Site
Once Forest School provision has begun, any maintenance, alterations or significant changes to the agreed Forest School area should be discussed with the Forest School Leader first. This helps us protect habitats, resources, planned activities and the safe use of the site
Commitment to Forest School
Forest School is most effective when children attend regularly over time. We ask schools to support consistent attendance and recognise that sessions take place outdoors throughout the seasons and in most weather conditions
Good Communication
Clear communication helps everything run smoothly. We ask schools to provide a named contact and to let us know promptly about any changes to pupils, staffing, timetables, access arrangements or anything else that may affect the sessions.
The Information We Need
Before sessions begin, schools must provide all relevant information needed to support pupils safely and appropriately. This includes medical needs, allergies, SEND, behavioural or emotional needs, safeguarding information and any other relevant support requirements
​
Our Approach

Our provision is rooted in the Forest School ethos: regular, learner-led experiences in the natural environment that give children time to explore, play, take appropriate risks, develop practical skills and follow their own interests.
As a Forest School Association Recognised Provider, we are committed to delivering Forest School in line with recognised principles and professional standards.
Through consistent sessions and trusted relationships, pupils are given the time and space to build confidence, resilience, independence, wellbeing and a meaningful connection with the natural world.
We work with your school to agree priorities for the provision and review how it is supporting your pupils over time.
If you would like to discuss whether this provision may be suitable for your school, please get in touch.
Outcomes we aim to support
Resilience
Developing the confidence to cope with challenge, setbacks and change, and to keep trying when things feel difficult.
​
Improved Attendance
Helping pupils reconnect with school, feel safer within the school environment and become more willing to attend regularly.
​
Engagement
Increasing pupils’ willingness to take part, contribute, explore new experiences and re-engage with learning.
​
Emotional Regulation
Supporting pupils to recognise and manage emotions, develop coping strategies and respond more positively to difficult situations.
​
Confidence & Self-Esteem
Creating opportunities for success that help pupils recognise their strengths, build self-belief and feel more capable.
​
Positive Relationships
Developing trust, communication and stronger connections with peers and adults through consistent, supportive shared experiences.
Additional Information
Weather and Clothing
Sessions run in most weather to build resilience, but safety comes first. We cancel for severe conditions (high winds, storms).
Pupils need appropriate outdoor clothing and sturdy shoes
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is managed in partnership with the school. The World Outside follows its own safeguarding procedures and works within the school’s safeguarding arrangements, with any concerns reported promptly through the school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).
Behaviour Approach
We view behaviour as communication and use a calm, relational approach focused on co-regulation, trust, consistency and emotional safety
