Outdoor learning is more than just knowledge-gathering. It helps learners develop socially, emotionally, spiritually, physically and intellectually. It creates a safe, non-judgemental nurturing environment for learners to try stuff out and take risks.
Forest School inspires a deep and meaningful connection to the world and an understanding of how a learner fits within it. Our approach to risk means that learners constantly expand on their abilities by solving real-world issues, building self-belief and resilience. We believe that risk is more than just the potential for physical harm, it is holistic. There are risks in everything we do, and we grow by overcoming them. Forest School, helps participants to become, healthy, resilient, creative and independent learners.
Our outdoor learning takes place in our purpose built Roundhouse, at Northumberland Zoo and at Clark’s Nature Reserve.
