Love being in the fresh air and making learning fun outside?

We have an exciting opportunity within our bespoke Forest School area on our school site and would love to give you the chance to be at the forefront of this venture.

During sessions delivered by our Forest School Leader (full training provided) students will be taught a range of skills that they can utilise during their exploratory play and develop their knowledge of the flora and fauna of our local environment.

Forest School offers students opportunities to develop confidence, self-regulation, and emotional resilience through carefully supported risk-taking in a safe and structured environment. These experiences can be especially powerful in supporting mental health, wellbeing, and a sense of calm and security.

If you’re passionate about creating spaces where children feel safe, valued, and supported to grow, we would love for you to be part of this journey.
