What is Forest School?
Simply put Forest School is an outdoor education approach underpinned by 6 core principles:
- Forest School takes place outdoors in a wooded area
- Forest School is facilitated over a long period of time with the same group of participants rather than a one off session.
- Forest school is facilitated by trained and reflective practitioners
- Forest School is a learner led or uses learner centred processes as an approach to education
- Forest School happens in a safe enough environment but encourages risk taking such as risky play or tool use
- Forest School encompasses activities that enhance and encourage holistic development
