Forest School 

Forest School

At Birkenhead Park, we offer an accredited Forest School Programme.

Forest School is a safe and non-judgemental environment where learners are hands-on, and at the centre of their own learning and development. With a high learner:leader ratio, Forest School allows learners to take on challenges and risks outdoors, building confidence, resilience, and inspiring care for the natural world.

Along with this we provide Level 3 Forest School Leader training. This course is designed to qualify trainees to set up and run their own Forest School Programme, covering the ethos and practical skills required.

We also offer Level 2 Curriculum Based Outdoor Learning courses aimed at teachers and professionals, along with our Campfire Competency Days.
