Our Mission

We believe in the transformative power of the great outdoors. Rooted in the ethos of holistic learning, our aim is to foster a deep connection between children and the natural world while nurturing their physical, emotional, and intellectual growth. Through a diverse range of activities such as woodland exploration, wildlife observation, storytelling around campfires, and hands-on crafting with natural materials, we aim to ignite a passion for learning that lasts a lifetime.

Our Vision

Our overarching goal is to inspire a lifelong love of learning and a strong environmental ethic in the children who pass through our forest school. We aspire to foster a generation of young people who not only excel academically but also value the natural world and actively contribute to its preservation. As a Forest School, we also take our responsibility to the environment seriously. We believe in leading by example, striving for sustainability, and leaving no trace behind. Our site is carefully managed to minimize our impact on the ecosystem, and we instil in our students a deep sense of environmental stewardship. Through eco-friendly practices, such as composting, recycling, and conserving resources, we aim to teach children the importance of caring for the planet they call home.

We're dedicated to providing a holistic and enriching educational experience that empowers children to be lifelong learners, passionate environmentalists, and confident contributors to society.

Our activities are thoughtfully designed to cater to different age groups and learning styles, ensuring that each child can learn and grow at their own pace. From building shelters in the woods to identifying local flora and fauna, from creating nature-inspired art to participating in group challenges, our Forest School offers a diverse range of experiences that promote physical, social, and emotional development.
