Forest Schools

We are a Church of England school for 4 - 11 year olds based in Herefordshire. We are the first Forest School in Herefordshire. The idea began in Denmark in the 1980s. The philosophy was based upon a desire to provide young children with an education which encouraged appreciation of the wide and natural world and responsibility for nature conservation in later life.

In these sessions the children use the outdoor environment and are encouraged and inspired to grow in confidence, independence and self esteem through the mastery of small achievable tasks.
