🌲 What is Forest School?

Forest School is an outdoor education approach that uses natural environments for learning. Children develop confidence, social skills, and environmental awareness through hands-on activities in woodlands and green spaces throughout the year.

📊 About This Data

Forest School status is identified from school websites during our enrichment process. Schools are marked as forest schools if they mention running a forest school programme, having forest school accreditation, or offering regular forest school sessions.
