The Garden Classroom is proud to be able to offer a version of the traditional Forest School model that embodies the ethos and principles of this transformational approach, while being delivered with a class of 30 in an urban environment.
The sessions provide regular immersion in nature, developing children’s’ physical, emotional and social well-being through play, exploration and supported risk taking. The process also creates a greater understanding of and connection to nature that we hope will last a lifetime.
Delivered by Level 3 qualified Forest School practitioners, the Urban Forest School programme delivers 10, two-hour sessions over a term with a EYFS, KS1 or KS2 class in a green space local to your school.

What an amazing experience for the children! They came back to our school playground and shared their experiences (marshmallows, bugs, fires, ropes, elderflower cordial, hammers and hammocks) with such glee... they really needed this! Thank you!
The children gained confidence, care of the environment and social skills through practical experiences such as cooking on the fire. There are countless opportunities for them to develop their fine and gross motor skills as well as communication and language through precious, uninterrupted time with nature every week. Nothing could be improved, it is always wonderful, so many lovely activities each week and always so well planned and considered.
