Forest School encourages children to explore their own innate learning in the richest classroom we have – the world. We believe children need:

• to be more active
• more independence
• more creativity
• more play
• more challenge
• more real-life experiences

Wild Learning programmes work to maximise the emotional, social and developmental benefits of education, but in terms of ‘what they learn’ we teach children:

• how to use tools
• how to make objects and art out of natural materials
• how to make and use fire safely
• how to stay warm and comfortable whatever the weather
• how to identify plants and animals
• how to communicate and work as part of a team
• how to value the natural environment and use it sustainably
