Forest School at Hagley Primary School
What is Forest School?
Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees. Forest School is a specialised learning approach that sits within and complements the wider context of outdoor and woodland education.
At Forest School everyone is viewed as:
-
equal, unique and valuable
-
competent to explore & discover
-
entitled to experience appropriate risk and challenge
-
entitled to choose, and to initiate and drive their own learning and development
-
entitled to experience regular success
-
entitled to develop positive relationships with themselves and other people
-
entitled to develop a strong, positive relationship with their natural world
At Hagley Primary school we are proud to offer our children a fantastic Forest School experience, within our own school grounds. We understand the huge benefits of Forest School and have developed a superb learning area where we can deliver a high quality programme of Forest School activities.
