Foxes Forest School

Forest School for home-educated children aged 4 to 11: aimed at sparking curiosity, inspiring learning, and developing life skills.

Join our fortnightly Foxes Forest School, where you and your child learn and grow together in a safe, supportive woodland environment.

• Every other Monday during term time
• From 1:30pm to 3:30pm

Foxes Forest School is designed for those families who want to home educate or flexi-school their children. It is delivered by qualified Forest School Practitioners who are experienced in weaving fun, exploration and learning, and personal development together outdoors. 

There is a framework structure to sessions that gives everyone a sense of routine and creates safety. The Forest School Leader will have a planned theme or activities on offer each session, which are aimed at supporting the Curriculum. Then, through play-based and child-led activities, we tap into the ways that children learn best and build on their development as opportunities arise.

Forest School Practitioners track each child and create activities and opportunities that will engage and stretch them, while also trusting their innate wisdom to engage with those elements they need the most: whether big movement play for their gross motor skills, learning to self-regulate in the hammock, problem-solving with peers or fueling curiosity in the world of minibeasts. We provide a range of opportunities for meeting different learning styles and developmental schemas, so each child learns in the way that suits them.
