Forest School is derived from Scandinavian philosophies of teaching in the outdoor environment.

  • Forest School is an inspirational process - children achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning.
  • It is based upon early childhood principles of freedom in play, creativity, socialisation skills and emotional stability.
  • It is about facilitating ‘safe’ risk taking.
  • An enriched and extended outdoor curriculum engages all children- able and special needs children.
  • Gardner’s proposed theories of multiple intelligences are used to consider the value of Forest School in supporting the more able learner:
  • Kinaesthetic- individuals who learn by doing
  • Linguistic- individuals who learn through discussion, and enjoy written and spoken language
  • Logical - individuals who are methodical and are often good at problem solving
  • Interpersonal- individuals who relate well together and learn best through social interactions
  • Intrapersonal- individuals who have a strong sense of self and understand their needs
  • Musical- individuals learn through sound and music
  • Visual/Spatial individuals who are often perceived as creative, these learners usually have a good sense of direction i.e. good map reading etc.
  • Naturalistic- individuals who take an interest in the natural world around them.
  • The setting is an outside environment
  • The Forest School is made as safe as is reasonably possible, in order to facilitate children’s risk taking.
  • Forest School happens over time.
  • There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.
  • Trust is central.
  • The learning is play-based and, as far as possible, child-initiated and child-led.
  • Focus is on enhancing and promoting children's emotional intelligence
  • The sessions have beginnings and ends.
  • Sessions are run by a trained Forest School leader.
  • Forest school underpins the academic learning process provided in schools.
