What is Forest School?
Forest School is a system of learning in an outdoor classroom – usually a woodland – through a range of practical skills and achievable tasks which build confidence, self-esteem and independence. Weekly sessions with the same group of children take place over a 6 – 10 week period. Developed in Sweden in the 1950’s, Forest School is an intrinsic part of the education system in Denmark and is growing in popularity across the UK.
